(This is the fifth blog in a series that focuses on drawing near to God by sharing your faith.)
Acts 1:8 states, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
What comes to mind when I say "missionary"? An old woman spooning food onto a dish? A man in an Indiana-Jones-type hat in the thick of the jungle? What should come to mind when I say "missionary" is YOU. Yes, that's right YOU.
The Holy Spirit lives in you and will give you all the words you should say whether it is to your unsaved neighbor or in a foreign country. You don't have to be sinless; you only need to be available. Have you made it clear to God that you are available?
Look into opportunities at your local church to be a missionary in your own city or abroad. Need more opportunities? Check out this site: http://www.ywam.org/.
Dear Lord, I thank You that You live in us and give us the power to be Your witnesses. I pray You would give us confidence, courage, and opportunities to share Christ in missions work. In Christ's Name, Amen.
