Missionary Mistakes

by Jeff Bush, Missionary to Argentina

I met Jeff when I was just out of college. He was only a few years older then me but I knew instantly he was light years away from me in ministerial maturity. He had a “clan” of young men following him around Peru as he was preparing to go to Argentina. I remember praying with him and hearing him beg God to send people to him when he arrived in Argentina. God is doing a tremendous work in La Plata, Argentina through the Bush Family. He is a wonderful missionary, loving father, caring dad, and great friend.

Jeff has and is being greatly used of God. He has written a series of posts on his blog called, “Missionary Mistakes” that took alot of candor and courage to write. I have made all of these mistakes myself and tons more. Here are the links to the posts. I think you will really profit from reading them.

Missionary Mistake #3 – Getting Frustrated With Cultural Differences
