Most missionaries will never have the grand stage of Billy Graham from which to minister to the world. They will have smaller forums and different settings. They share the desire of great men like him, to have the Gospel spread across the entire world.
Missionaries work in a gambit of ways, using a variety of methods, but toward a common purpose. That purpose is to add to God’s Kingdom as often as they are able.
Through a basic Christian principle, they are driven to show the lost the way to heaven. They follow the directions given to us from Scripture, take them and apply
them to the areas of ministry in which they work. Missionaries are blessed with a
global vision and not simply a community one. Their training and experiences allow them to see the world in two categories, lost and found.
New Testament accounts speak of the disciples commitment to share Christ. After Jesus’ assent to heaven, they took up the cause and mission to spread the Good News far and wide. Many references say they added to the kingdom, when souls were won for Christ. This is the same work that missionaries around the world are doing right now, town to town, village to village.
They overcome barriers of race, nationality, education and language in order to perform the work of the mission. Just as the disciples knew that not every hearer would accept the message, missionaries today know as well. But the mission is about telling, watering the plants and trusting God for growth. What a happy reunion heaven will be, seeing all of those who entered the kingdom through the
sharing of the Gospel!
