A deeper thought of sorts
What makes a person a missionary? I'm not sure, but here's one thing I do know
"Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us; we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God" - 2 Corinthians 5:20
I was at my friend's house tonight to hear him share as he 'becomes a missionary'. The funny thing is, he already was a missionary (or ambassador for Christ) in his everyday life, he was just changing jobs from working secular to a Christian organization.
"Three years ago I joined a missions trip to Japan. During those six weeks I began to see how God worked in my life to impact others. As I came back from this trip I knew that God had called me to be a missionary. This meant that I was His witness no matter where I went. So I started being a missionary by working in a shipping and logistics company." -Tim Chan
So I guess the points of this blog is that where you are now (School, work, working on Personal Development) you are a missionary to the people in your life, YOU ARE CHRIST'S AMBASSADOR TO THESE PEOPLE. More than that, you can take part in the greatest most important thing possible, working with God in reconciling the world to Him through Jesus.
This Saturday Sept. 23rd there is a breakfast at Parkcrest on personal evangalism, should prove useful in equiping you for your missionary work.
