International Missions

I have always wondered why some people are missionaries and some are not. For so long, (junior high and high school years) I thought missions was for the ones who couldn't or didn't want to be a pastor in the United States. After all, the US is the best of the world so who would want to leave and go overseas? (Pretty immature, huh? Shows what I knew then.) I was more than wrong. Missionaries are people called to start a new work or renew an old work in a land that they will call home. After meeting a large group of MKs in college and then knowing so many who were going to the International Field after seminary, I am amazed at how they are willing to give up so much. They are truly called of God.

If you would like to support your SBC missionaries please pray for them. And you can give to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Every penny given goes directly to supporting full-time missionaries whether through salary or through materials and supplies. You can go here to find out facts concerning the work ahead for the SBC International Missionaries. Learn about Lottie Moon here. There are multiple links on this page.

Here is a great article on a worldwide missions movement. This is not the Americans being used to get the movement going, this is Christians worldwide being sent out in order to reach the world.
