10 Ways to Become Active in Missions

Bernice H. Jacobs

As Christians we are to be a "light in the darkness."  Our daily goals should include  efforts to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.  Here are 10 ways to become more active in missions and be obedient to our Father's commands to "preach the good news to all creation."

1.  Pray & Study the Word -  We cannot be effective witnesses for God if we do not pray for daily guidance for ourselves and our fellow sisters and brothers in Christ.  Studying the Word of God is a necessity because we must be able to fully give an account for our beliefs.

2.  Adopt a missionary or missionary organization who actively are ministering in the fields.

3.  Support and encourage missions in your local church.

4.  Start at home.  Locally there are opportunities to not only share the gospel but to serve others who are in need.

5.  Participate in short-term missions trips within your country and abroad.

6.  Donate and/or distribute Bibles and Christian literature.

7.  Establish relationships with those in your community and be a living witness.

8.  Advocate for human rights and the safety and well being of others (local, state, national and international).

9.  Help spread the Word by making sure it is presented correctly in other languages.  If you have the ability to speak multiple languages, you can interpret or help translate literature or presentations on radio or television.

10.  Always be aware of our purpose to be a "light in the darkness."  Every moment is an opportunity to serve and help our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
