What is a missionary? A missionary is someone sent by Jesus Christ just as he was sent by God. In missionary work, the great danger is that God’s call will be replaced by the needs of the people, to the point that human sympathy for those needs will absolutely overwhelm the purpose of being sent by Jesus. ("My Utmost For His Highest.") “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations” ("Go and Make Disciples!"). Missions are important to God because of the cross of Christ and the command and the coming of him. The missionaries that I "Missionary Interview."ed said that it’s dangerous being a missionary. For instance if you're in a muslim country trying to spread the gospel you can be killed, or in other countries where you can go days without food. God’s call to missions is evident in South Africa with Multi Ministries.

Nevertheless South Africa’s primary religion is Christianity.
(South Africa.)
The city that Harold Peasley lives in is Johannesburg ("Missionary Interview."). He said that he lives in an apartment because he is always moving place to place to spread the gospel ("Missionary Interview."). The kind of foods he likes to is steak, lamb, and other assortments of meat ("Missionary Interview."). Usually the temperature there is really hot, but sometimes in winter it gets really cold to where they can even have snow! ("Missionary Interview.") He said he usually wears jeans or whatever is necessary to the situation.("Missionary Interview.") I asked him if it was hard to be surrounded by other religions. He said that it is difficult sometimes but it shows “great competition.”(Intervie) They practice their religion by using teams to get place to place to share the gospel. South Africa is filled with people who are non-be...

...throwing away tons of food and there is nothing they can do about it” ("Missionary Interview."). It isn’t always fun being a missionary but it is satisfying at times, and to spread the gospel and God’s word is always rewarding.

In conclusion, we should help share the gospel around the world. Multi Ministries has had a great task in sharing the gospel with South Africa, that is why we need to help. They have donated bikes the pastors to help them share in their faith and so should we. Even if it’s hot, cold, snowing, raining, we’ve got to spread the gospel. I think it would be great for everyone to participate in missions. It can help them grow in in their faith and help them with their lives.

    Although, I had the completely wrong view. I learned that a person is a person regardless of a person's social status or by what they do or don't have. I also realized that even though a mission trip is meant to help those in need, I needed missionaries myself. I realize that even though we help the kids at the Ruidoso orphanage, I feel like they helped me shape who I am as a person in a dramatic way. Whether it was by feeding us lunch to playing a game of soccer with us, they positively affected my life in a huge mental way.

    The most important task you can do as an ambassador for Christ, is to spend time hanging out with God yourself. Even if it cuts into time that you wanted to spend in "ministry." Spending some time enjoying God's presence, aware that God is enjoying yours at the same time, will do more for those around you, than any words you could work up. If you have a sense of intimacy with Christ, you will be able to do more than just talk about God.

  • Reflection Paper On Evangelism

    1490 Words  | 3 Pages

    Evangelism is one of the key component for changing people’s lives. McRaney states, “The word evangelism comes from a combination of Greek words for “good” and “messenger.” Evangelism involves bringing the goods. Kent Hunter reminded us that “when Christians witness, they tell how Jesus Christ has changed their own lives. The change in their own lives gives them the desires to share the Good News with others.” Christians must share their testimony to people and spread the gospel so that they can bring lost souls to Christ. God has commissioned every Christian to evangelize so that people will learn about Jesus Christ and accept Him as their personal savior. Matthew 28:19 states, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. Christians are required to spread the Gospel throughout the world and can no longer just attend church. Christians must plant seeds and water the seeds so that lost souls will be saved.
