Assessing Missionary Readiness Through Character, Conviction, and Competency Should I become a missionary? Many who ask this question have a genuine love for Christ and a desire to live out the Great Commission. Yet even good intentions can sometimes cloud the judgment of our abilities, and personal ambition can make it difficult to keep our eyes fixed on what is necessary for the glory of Christ and the building of his kingdom. The decision to pursue missions should not be shaped by impulse or idealism but by discernment, prayer, godly counsel, and immersion in the local church. In The Path to Being a Missionary, Ryan Robertson and Matt Bennett lay out practical advice and questions for readers as they consider if missionary work is the right fit for them. Through each concise chapter, readers will consider preparation for a life of service while honestly evaluating their character, convictions, and competencies. Rather than asking, Am I called? Robertson and Bennett urge men and women to ask the more important question: Am I qualified? Valuable Church Resource: Serves as a helpful guide for churches in the sending process, offering insights from experienced missions leadersOffers an Honest Perspective: Urges men and women to set aside personal intentions to determine if they are truly qualified for a life in missions Practical and Action Oriented: Features concise chapters that spur reflection, prayer, and tangible next steps
