“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach? And how can they preach unless they are sent?
Romans 10: 13b - 15a
OUR MISSIONARIES
Everyone on earth has a mission. For this reason, each one of us, in one way or another, is a missionary. But there are those among us who have made the missionary life their own. They have particularly chosen to spend their days reaching out to the world’s farthest corners, proclaiming the kingdom of God. They have taken the responsibility of continuing the duties of Jesus Christ’s apostles.
The missionaries are God’s foot soldiers. They are an important part of our church family, they are unsung heroes, and they deserve much recognition.
