I don’t know everything and I don’t wanna be everything . I don’t intend to be or know everything but opinion exists for those who have it. I don’t intend to be evasive but I’d like to talk about a matter I have in my mind and in our ministry . It’s a kind of focus or way of thinking.
I’ve been observing the frustration of youth, teenagers and even adults when we talk about missions. I mean: local,urban, interstate or transcultural ones. Unfortunately, they immediately think about “abandoning everything”. This way of thinkning was sold to be considered essential whenever the word “missions” is said.
This is the main weapon used by the adversary to discourage missions for this generation. I feel sad when I notice it whenever a teenager is aroused in his heart by God to do this essential job in His work. Then, lots of main characters without stage start talking about the losses of taking part in this show which doesn’t have certain audience.
Giving up your own interests is the same as to submit to Jesus’ command without losing the oportunity to be happy in your life and ministry. Such thought sorrounds the believers’ minds in our denominations where hunger associated with uncountable necessities belong to the same packaging and eventually hardships are the wounds of Jesus’ call.
It’s nonsense to put in the chosen heart only sadness and losses as a beatific wish
for your ministry. At first I think about my insignificant opinion being happy to assume the responsability of having it. Doing missions can’t mean the abandon of creative capacity nor deny the natural gift given by God for your professional qualifications. “And because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.” ( Acts 18: 3)
On the contrary, we have to encourage the chosen ones to go to University, get technical and professional formation of intermediate or advanced level to let him
free from the necessity of handcuffs because it’s not late to complain about lots of brothers and sisters in Christ who are abandoned at random. They’re victims of miseries sent by their supporters (when they have them, of course).
It’s necessary to know the Scriptures properly in a complete knowledge of the adversary that will combat you and the way to neutralize it preaching Salvation.
We must have through our professional qualifications not only the ballast for our subsistence in action but also the influence on the environment where we are in as well as for those who were abandoned at random in an effective way through acquired academic knowledge carrying with them not only the Scriptures but also the Bread of Life and the way of getting it.
Nobody knows the answers for these enigmas but to do missions doesn’t mean: “Gimme a handout “. Doing missions with real probability of self-support through our professional qualifications doesn’t mean to deny the blessing of offerings or refuse them. It means to guarantee that abuses and disobedience of believers don’t overshadow the Divine Call to missionary service.
