"Here am I send me." ~Isaiah 6:8
Why?Why do I love Missions?
Boy, where do I start! Okay, I will start from the beginning... Since I was a very young child I have always wanted to be a missionary. I would listen ever so closely in the missionary services at church. I loved to hear about the many things they did and saw, but most importantly I loved to hear them talk about the people. These people were just like me except for one thing... They don't know about Jesus or really who He even is. My heart was absolutely saddened at the thought of a person not knowing who Jesus is. I love missions because of the simple fact that I will be able to share the good news about Jesus with others. |
WHERE?You may be wondering where I would like to be a missionary to.
Well, there are a lot of places that are near and dear to my heart. I would like to go to...

How?You may be wondering... How can I get involved in mission work?
Well, I have some exciting news for you. Guess what!?! You can be a missionary in your own neighborhood! I know you are probably thinking how in the world can I do that? I will tell you... If you are a Christian and you are following Jesus with your whole heart; then you are already being a missionary. As Christians we are walking Bibles. Isn't that amazing! Being that we are walking Bibles we need to make sure and show forth the love of God in all that we do, say, think and where we go. Also give to the mission work at your local church. Try setting some money aside for the missionary offering. It doesn't have to be tons of money. When you find some extra coins; place them in a jar set aside for missions. Try inviting someone to church. There are so many other ways you can get involved in missions. |
