How will your church respond?
Imagine one of your church members announcing that they are going to begin their journey toward becoming missionaries!
What would you think after hearing just that one sentence?
– Good luck trying to find the money
– Our church can’t afford you
– Here comes a pitch for donations
– Really? They have not even attended Bible school
– Which mission agency are they joining?
– Why would they want to do this?
– Good for them – wonder what’s for lunch?
– People still do this?
– Wow, that’s being brave in today’s world.
– Not them! They are so needed in our church.
– I want to be on their prayer team.
– Add me to your newsletter.
– I wish I could do that.
– You are my heroes!
The attitude of the members of your church family will either carry you forward or discourage you from continuing the journey.
