Missionary Volunteers

Greetings, Dear Ones!

HAPPY SABBATH!

How is the weather in your neck of the woods?

Have your feet been hiding out in socks and under blankets like mine have been these last few days? Fall weather has arrived and it is surely making its presence felt!

Today I want to talk about doing mission work - the purpose of this blog - and missionaries ... for Jesus. Isn't that what we are called to be? (Go ye into all the world ...! Mark 16:15)

Many of us, myself included, wanted to be missionaries when we heard the mission stories from exotic and far-flung destinations; when we heard about the Lord's mighty hand moving amongst native tribes in these various destinations, and the many miracles experienced by those in the mission field. That was the life!

Then we grew up, life interrupted, and we forgot the dream until one day we, you, me, felt, saw, heard, or smelt something ... .

Our offering today is about the pull  one feels when  "I Want to be a Missionary!"

Enjoy, and don't forget to share!

Be well, and be gloriously blessed,

BJ

I Want to be A Missionary

I want to be a missionary

But … I don't want to have to go abroad

Because … I have neighbors and even family

Who don't know – or believe – in God!

I want to be a missionary

But … I don't want to pack a bag

Or get a shot, or even a passport

I know that my parents will be glad!

My mission field … will be in my township

My passport … will be the Holy Word

My shot … is the Spirit of the Lord, and

My bag … is showing care, and fellowship!

Don't worry … about traveling abroad, Friend

Charity … begins at home!

Just grow … where you have been planted

And God … you He will defend! **BJC**
