Why have I dedicated my life to missions? It all started when I was four years old and missionaries came to my private Christian school. They must have said something pretty extraordinary, because the next thing I know, I'm in the car telling my mother that the little children of Asia can't learn about Jesus. I told her that it was wrong and I was going to go tell them. When my mother offered to have us pray about it I retorted, "No mom, I'm gonna go."
From that moment on, God was fanning a fire in me. Everything that happened in my life was preparing me for the mission field. And through these years, God started with a continent then placed a country in my mind, until he finally put a people group on my heart. As time goes on, the God dream gets more and more specific. So why should you follow God's call to missions? (This is for those who are feeling a tug on their heart to missions. Some are not called to missions, some are called to be senders and some are called to be prayer warriors.) God will refine the dream He's given you in time. Jesus calls us to missions in Matthew 28:19-20 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." If you feel a call to missions don't hesitate, go. Go to training, go raise a team of support, go to the field. Training is vital to the survival of missionaries. With training, the mission field will be hard, without training the mission field will be harder. I've been to the field without training, I felt unprepared and confused most of the time. It made long term missions very difficult and I ended up coming back to receive more training. All in all missionaries are being called and very few are answering. I urge you to seriously consider missions and pray whole heartedly about it with God. There are 17,424 people groups in the world... with 7,410 of those people groups unreached (with no access to the Bible, the church, or missionaries). Now is the time to finish the great commission. Now is the time to go. Will you answer the call?

AuthorI am a missionary. Currently studying at Bethany Global University. The ultimate God dream is to go to Mongolia. I believe God has called me to minister to the Mongolian nomads, they are the unreached people of our world. With over 3 million people in Mongolia, there are only around 70 churches. These churches are all in cities, thus leaving the nomads on their own. I am a missionary, this is my calling, and this is my story. Please Contact me to find out how to donate.Archives
