Australian Presbyterian World Mission

The Process
Reaching out to Others
Sharing the truth of God's Word, is the task of every Christian. Jesus said to his disciples: "As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you." John 20:21 With the power of the Holy Spirit they were to be his witnesses throughout the world. Some would work close to home, others in distant places. (Acts 1:8)
If you are a disciple of Jesus Christ, you need to know where and how you will do this.
Becoming a missionary is not just an individual decision made in isolation. You need a sense of God's leading (this is what God wants you to do for Him), the support of your Session/church family and others as you go through that process, and especially when you move out into your sphere of work. You will also need training and equipping.
