A lot of missionaries focus more on the physical needs of the world rather than the spiritual needs. They go out and give to the hungry, build schools and hospitals, which are all good, but just focusing on physical will never matter once they leave earth. Sure they may die healthy, but they'll be in hell rotting and screaming in torturous pain never seeing the grace of God. That should break your heart! I'm not saying stop feeding the hungry or giving education, I'm saying let's ALSO focus on spiritual health, spread Jesus! There are millions of lost souls who have never heard of Jesus Christ and his salvation.
Its important that people's spiritual needs are met first than their physical needs.
K.P. Yohannan says it best (Revolution In World Missions) - "Focusing only on meeting physical needs is like throwing stones at a tank."
