Should We Be Missionary Workers?

Preview: The call to missionary work is not for everyone. That said, each person within God’s Church has their own special skills and things to contribute to the growth of the Church. Everything we do, say, think, and demonstrate to the world should reflect our joy and belief in God’s Holy Word. At the very least you can be a shining example of good living through the Lord.
