Now that the pandemic is winding down, and it rocked our world, it is time to once again consider short and long-term Christian missions! Even countries closed to the Gospel are opening up and welcoming foreigners. There are still billions of people who don’t know Jesus who live near and far. Hopefully you are reaching out to those who are near. Who will go to those who are far away and have little or no opportunity to hear the wonderful message about Jesus? Do you have the courage to take a radical step of faith and go wherever God leads you? You won’t know all the details of who, what, where, when, etc. If you need to know the future you’ll freeze up! So take it day by day. The journey will be amazing. The people you’ll meet, the opportunities to tell people about Jesus, and the Bibles you’ll distribute that will impact families and communities for years to come will all be well worth your sacrifice.
So where do you start? First, pray and ask God for guidance (but don’t wait too long.) Then talk to the pastor of your church. Ask him or her for advice. Next, contact reputable Christian mission organizations. There are hundreds of them. There are some awesome people who can guide you in your journey. Christian mission organizations in your country have advisors who can answer your questions and lead you to where you need to go so that you can start your amazing spiritual journey as a Christian missionary. Most likely you won’t end up in the jungle somewhere, but rather a bustling cosmopolitan city with all the modern amenities you enjoy at home. So no need to be afraid! Your chances of becoming a martyr are slim, and besides, that is only reserved for a special few. As for leaving your family and friends behind, that’s a small price to pay for the eternal rewards you will receive from your heavenly Father. So go for it!
