Who a missionary? Protestant missionaries also called Zending. Zending derived from the Dutch word meaning "commissioning". So, missionaries are people who got a special call to spread Christianity through the news of salvation that is given by God for the whole world. Usually, each person who has experienced God's ownership of his life will be encouraged to share God's love to the crowd.

One of the Christian missionaries is Francis Xavier. He was one of the founders of the Society of Jesus. Francis was born on April 7, 1506 and died on December 2, 1552. He spent most of his lifetime on remote lands. What exactly makes Francis wanted to be a missionary?

When this question arises in your mind, what is your answer? Didn’t Francis have other goals instead of answering God’s calling in his life? Each person must have dreams about the future, one of which is building family and reaching a successful life. However, only a few who are ready to answer the call of God.

Answering the call of God in the right season is like eating when we are hungry. Do you know that there are so many people out there who need the love of Jesus? But you may not recognize that this is the right season.

Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” (Matthew 9:37-38)

May you respond and say “Yes, I will, Lord” when God talks to and calls you. God know that there will be some people who reject His calling, because serving Him full time is not easy. There are so many challenges you will face. However, believe that He is able to do unseen things.

 

 

If you do not answer His calling, God can use other people to replace your role.
