David & Sherri Pryor Helping Plant Tribal Churches in Mexico
Are you concerned that you might one day be burdened to become a missionary yourself? Well, put your mind at ease! Inspired by Stewart Dinnen’s list in How are you doing? (Bromley: STL Books, 1984), here is a humorous look at some sure-fire ways to avoid becoming a missionary:
As you slow to a stop inches behind the car in front of you, you squint your eyes and peer through your car’s windshield. You strain to catch a glimpse of the cause for the backed up traffic ahead. But there are just too many cars on the freeway to see the reason for the delay.
“Fine time for a traffic jam. Now I’m really going to be late!” You mutter out loud to yourself.
"Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest." (John 4:35c)
Every Christian is a Missionary – This is a statement of fact, not a question nor an exhortation.
Some, however, may doubt the validity of such a statement. So, let us consider the word Christian for a moment.
