Missionary Opportunities

"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms." (1 Peter 4:10)

Missionaries administer God's grace in all sorts of ways.  In addition to pastors and deaconesses and evangelists, people are needed who can teach, provide medical care, develop internet and computer services and more.  If your gift is in social work, construction, agriculture or whatever gift you may have, you can and should use it to serve others — whether at home or, possibly, in a mission field somewhere.
