Back in my freshman year at NBBI, a missionary came to our missions class. He gave us this very helpful information, which I hope you will find just as useful.
When Becoming a Foreign Missionary:
I.
Be sure you are called by GOD.
a. If
you aren’t doing something here, you won’t be doing anything there.
II.
In the field, remember: you are the foreigner. They
didn’t invite you. God called you. Adapt.
III.
Learn to discern between God’s Word and your
culture or preferences.
a. You
are there to preach the Word, not to
share your preferences/culture.
IV.
Make it clear what you will do and what you won’t do.
a. You
aren’t going there to be their savior. Christ
already did that.
V.
Keep it balanced
a. Ministry
b. Health
1. Spiritual
2. Emotional
3. Physical
c. Relationships
d. Family
life
