Description
What is God calling you to do?
Christ called His followers to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Simple enough, right? But not everyone can go to the ends of the earth, or we’d be abandoning the lost here at home. So, how are people supposed to determine whether they should stay or go, whether or not they’ve received “the call”?
This updated edition of The Missionary Call explores the biblical, historical, and practical aspects of discerning and fulfilling God's call to serve as a missionary. Using Scripture and lessons from actual missionaries, Dr. Sills cuts through the prevailing confusion to offer much needed biblical wisdom and clarity.
This volume also includes pertinent new content on:
how business professionals overseas can participate in missions the advantages and disadvantages of using technology to do missions work long-distancehow globalization and urbanization are changing missions today the pros and cons of short-term mission trips and how to do them effectivelyand more!Available Editions

The book's forward says, "Many of us have misunderstood that there is only one priority in serving God. We are to be His faithful servants and good stewards of his mysteries. We are supposed to obey." (Nick Saint)
What does that mean when one feels called to obey as a missionary? In the changing mission landscape, danger and other challenges are realities for those who go across culture, whether through creative access, willing to be martyred, or more traditional options.
Missionaries may be motivated by the lostness of souls, obedience to the Great Commission, human need, or possibilities to tell the Story. However, the author says that scripture mandates that each person is responsible to serve the world, whether by going, giving, or praying. Sills also traces the missionary call in history and its effect on the nations.
This examination of what it means to be called into cross-cultural ministry will benefit those who feel called to go, those who call them to go, and those who send them.
