We all wonder how someone could leave everything they know or have and travel to a foreign land to share Christ. After all hasn’t there been people lose their lives or worse yet put their families at risk. God didn’t call everyone to be the person to leave everything for people in other countries right? Well is that true or false? I would have to submit that the previous statement is false. God has called us all to leave everything for His purposes in our lives. Does that mean that we have to go to another country to make that happen? Do we have to sell everything we own and leave everyone we know? NO. The Great Commission tells us to share Christ in our Jerusalem, Samaria, and then the rest of the world. So we are all called to be missionaries. We don’t have to go to a foreign land to share Christ; we can do it right where God has placed you. You see you are right where you are meant to be according to God. So what are you going to do about that? Walk across the street or across the lunchroom and share Christ with someone. You don’t even have to learn a different language most of the time. Now I am not saying that we don’t need people to go to foreign countries and share Jesus. What I am saying is we can’t just throw money at missions and not do them. If you won’t share Christ with people you are around today, then who will? What I am learning through this journey of life God has placed me on is there are people who come in and out of my life that may never listen to someone else, but will listen to me. So wouldn’t I be a fool not to accept my call as a missionary right where God has placed me. So allow me to ask, Are you a missionary? Or Not
