How do I prepare for missionary service? 

The decision to enter missions is not one made lightly. Journey Guides will help you thoughtfully and prayerfully consider your: 

  • Relationship with the Lord and growth in spiritual maturity.
  • Self-awareness – understanding your passion, gifts, talents, abilities, weaknesses, emotional stability.
  • Relational strength – with church, family, friends.
  • Readiness for service and how to prepare for choosing an assignment or agency. 

 

Here are some steps you can take today as you consider missions: 

  • Spend time praying, evaluating and confirming what God is saying to you. Exercise patience in order to wait on the Lord as He leads you toward the best opportunity for you to serve. 
  • Connect with a Journey Guide for one or more conversations to assist you in these next steps. 
  • Look for affirmation from others, such as your church, your family and friends. What is God saying to you? 
  • Take available Personal Assessments to help you understand your strengths, weaknesses, spiritual gifts, and communication style. 
  • Attend one of The Journey Deepens Retreats offered through MissionNext. 
  • Enroll in a Perspectives Course at a location near you or online. 
  • Develop your tool bag! What tools do you need to thrive and be effective in the ministry to which God is calling you?
