Missiology of Christ

Here is a list of things you need to know as a missionary wanting to enter a closed country to do missionary work. I wish that there was some other way to get this information to you other than putting it on the internet for everyone including the enemies of the cross to see. However, … Read more

When I was a new missionary, I worked twelve-hour days and would come home late to have a little time to myself. I loved that time. It was only an hour or two, but it was all mine. I so looked forward to that time every day. Little by little, the work of God became … Read more

Missionaries carry the vision alone. This is a sad reality but it is true in most circumstances. When you are finally on the other side of the world and time passes, the people back home forget. Out of sight out of mind. There will always be a handful of those who will not, but according … Read more

My wife and I were recently in a remote people group with a group of missionary candidates and they brought out my least favorite food. They brought me an entire plate full of several large black mushrooms. There is only one way to deal with this situation: put them in your mouth and eat them. … Read more

Missionaries have decided to be useful to others. They turned their uselessness into usefulness and went.

Half of all the people groups in the world are under 25,000 in population, and the majority of them do not speak any or enough of the national language to be … Read more

1 Corinthians 12:22-25 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God … Read more

Jesus discipled people, and they went and discipled other people. (Luke 10:1) Peter stood up one day, and thousands of people came to Christ. Soon after that, the disciples were so busy waiting tables that everything was out of control. Mass evangelism is not the goal of Jesus, nor is being a missionary who makes … Read more

I am seeing a trend that disturbs me. Someone inside a fairly large church gets the vision for unreached people groups, and decides to start a missionary sending agency.
