How Does Someone in a Muslim Country Become a Christian? The answer to this question can be multifaceted, but this is one man’s true story.
Now what? I had no idea how to make this huge shift to becoming a missionary. God blessed us with a knowledgeable and passionate missions pastor, who connected us to Team Expansion.
Change terrifies me. I prefer to live my life in a bubble, surrounded by familiar comforts that are tested and time-honored. I never imagined myself writing about becoming a missionary.
Ever since we were kids, we both hoped and prayed for opportunities to work with orphans, to help them know the Lord as Father and Savior. Orphans are some of the most neglected and abused people in Romania.
Then one man quieted the crowd and said, “you know, we all know we have a Christian here, and we ought to kill him.” The crowd quieted and began to look his way.
On this side of it all, I’m grateful for my support raising journey. In fact, I wouldn’t want to go into the mission field without this experience.
In a recent Disciple-Making Training in Mongolia, we had the opportunity to take a local pastor on a prayer walk. We encountered several people and quickly discovered God’s ability to orchestrate simple gestures into amazing opportunities to share the Gospel.
I shared my testimony, the full Gospel, and explained things like God’s covenants and the theme of sacrifice through a sacrificial lamb. I explained how Scripture points to Jesus as the ultimate and final sacrificial lamb. They were on the edge of their seats the whole time!
If you’re considering cross-cultural mission work, you’ve likely found yourself completely overwhelmed as you think and pray. Where do I begin? How do I know if I’m called to be a missionary? Where should I go? What will I do? Will I be any good? It’s understandable. There are a lot of factors. It’s a lot of change. We’re here to help you take it one-step at a time.
