Missions
Prepared to Serve
Anyone with a mission to win someone to Christ becomes a missionary. You become a missionary because you have a mission to share the message of salvation. There are ways to equip yourself for the greatest effectiveness:
* Become acquainted with the customs of those to whom you minister (1 Cor. 9:22).
* Learn to speak the language of those with whom you work.
* Make an effort to eat their foods (1 Cor. 10:27).
* Be willing to wear their ethnic clothing, especially for festive occasions.
* Listen to their problems (Gal. 6:2).
* Pray for individuals and specific needs (James 5:16).
* Avoid local politics (Acts 5:29).
* Treat others as you yourself wish to be treated (Matt. 7:12).
* Never compromise your faith (Rom. 1:16).

“If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience’ sake.”
1 Corinthians 10:27
