One More Missionary
Япония
Добавлен 19 авг 2020
One more missionary living for Jesus (and playing ultimate frisbee) in Japan.
I share my experiences of becoming a missionary, thoughts about what kind of character missionaries need, and try to answer questions you have about this whole missionary thing.

I feel called to be a missionary, but I don’t know where to!
So you feel called to be a missionary, but you don’t know where to? Let’s talk about that.
The really short answer is that probably God has just given you the choice. But then the question is, “how do I make that choice?” And there’s a few things that I think can help with that:
1. Look Inside Yourself
2. Listen to the Spirit
3. Talk to the Church
4. Taste and See
As always, come back at me with any further questions, comments, etc. I don’t pretend to be the fount of all knowledge on the missionary life, but I enjoy the conversation!

This is going to be the first in a mini-series where I’ll look at some of the key character traits that I’ve found myself having to grow in as I seek to live for Jesus in Japan.
