Where Should a Missionary Go?

Scripture Reading: Matthew 24:1-14

Focus Verse: Matthew 24:14
"And this Gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."

We continue on our four week devotional series about missionaries.  Today we will answer the question where should a missionary go to share the Gospel message?  Our focus verse says "all the nations."  2 Peter 3:9 says "the Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."  If God is not willing that any should perish, then everybody needs to hear the Gospel.  Everybody needs Jesus. 

Over ten years ago God opened my eyes to the fact that many Americans have been given numerous opportunities to accept the Gospel.  In 2001 on a trip to Kenya, Africa I came to realize that many people in other parts of the world have not been given the same opportunity.  It is now my goal to share this life changing message of the Gospel with as many of these people as I can.

Our focus verse says that there is an end coming.  One day this world will come to an end.  Then it will be too late to tell anyone else about Jesus.  Jesus said that His Gospel will be preached in every nation.  You must understand that you don't need to travel a long distance to share Jesus with someone.  God may lead you to speak to the lost people in your community.  The Gospel is only good news if it gets there in time.  Many people die everyday having never heard.  It is up to us to tell them.
