Missionaries

It’s common to not notice the tiny blessings of each day. Call it luck, God, good karma, whatever you want, but sometimes things just go right. Other times those lucky instances are so impactful that we have no choice but notice them. I attribute these miracles to God, though I have not always done so. When I began high school my belief in God was very basic, limited to the assumption that there could be no other possible explanation for the world around me. This reasoning worked for a while, but

for such missionary burst throughout the world. Anderson points out, “The idea of a world wide revival to precede the ‘soon coming King’ became a prominent theme in early Pentecostalism and was an important reason for frantic mission activity that came in the movement’s wake.” It is widely known, that early Pentecostal missionaries and the local people suffered due to such eschatological urgency. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that even through those sufferings God used these missionaries to spread

womanly so he modeled his life after being the opposite of his father. And he forced this mindset onto his son as well. These toxic ideas of masculinity ultimately backfired, forcing Nwoye away from his father's culture. Nwoye's response to the missionaries and decision to join their church is a direct result of his father's unhealthy attitudes about how Nwoye should be and how he should act. Okonkwo's complete intolerance and lack of understanding for emotions being a stifling oppressive force is

John and Elaine Beekman are missionaries God sent to the Chol tribes in Chiapas, Mexico. This is where they translated the New Testament and hymns into the native language, they helped many come to know Christ, they taught them how to read and write; and they also helped the sick and needy. John Beekman was born with a heart murmur and he was restricted to many physical activities, he had no interest for Christ and when he was older he read a book called The Wonders of Prophecy by John Urquhart

they were 13 years old, they got to travel across the country with their church group and do mission work in Seattle, Washington by bus? Who can say that they traveled to New Jersey for one week and then headed up to New York the next while doing missionary work, two years after Seattle? These are just three examples of what I have

I discovered my servant’s heart through mission trips with my youth group. These mission trips were one of the major factors that inspired me to become a medical missionary. I had the opportunity to work with underprivileged individuals in rural areas and I got to witness the decreased access to basic needs such as health care, food, and proper living conditions. I have always had access to these and I believe they are essential to sustain life. It never really occurred to me that so many people

The preparation of missionaries is a vital aspect of the missionary enterprise. The unique significance of the missionary’s task points to the need for excellence in training. The consideration of the Biblical imperatives and God’s purposes in mission, plus the recognition of missionaries as ambassadors of Christ will reveal the importance of an adequate preparation for missionary service. Since missionaries are destined to live and work in this world, it is reasonable to expect them to understand

I live with my Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, two Brothers, and Sister. I have always had a very close relationship with my entire family, but also with the members of my church. My Father has instilled in me as well as my siblings that God is the ultimate authority over all things. My view of authority is that we are commanded by God to obey our earthly leaders that he has put in place for us such as parents, government leaders, administrators, teachers, etc. I believe that a piece of scripture that

The Mormon missionary arrived in Hawaii in the month of December in 1850. There were ten missionaries whom were specifically sent from the California mine by Elder Rich who was an apostle of that time. These men were gold miners in California and because it was winter time they were unable to do mining so they were extended this call. These missionaries were Henry William Bigler, Geroge Q Cannon, John Dixon, William Farrer, James Hawkins, James Keeler, Thomas Morris, Thomas Whittle, Hiram Clark and

Much can be learned from early church missionaries. Two such missionaries were Ninian (360-432) and Patrick (389-461). Ninian, the "apostle of Scotland," was "trained in Rome," but was British.1 While in France, Ninian, an "apostle of Scotland," was introduced to the idea that "a monk should be a missionary."2 He established Christianity with the people group known as the Southern Picts.3 The "apostle of Ireland," Patrick, was brought up in northwest England by a Christian family.
