Most people who become missionaries do so because they feel that God is directing them into that path. They desire to serve others, using the gifts that God has given them, whether that be pastoring, medical service, or teaching. Many missionaries also enjoy travel and adventure, which is definitely a part of the job.

Do you have to be a certain age to become a missionary?
No, you do not have to be a certain age to become a missionary. A missionary is usually someone who is sent from and supported by their particular church or denomination to go into the world with the "mission" of sharing their faith and persuading others to join them in their faith. Often missionary work is accompanied by humanitarian work, such as caring for the sick (a medical missionary), teaching, running orphanages, etc. But for the basic purpose of a missionary, anyone who is old enough to understand the gospel, and has believed the gospel, can share that gospel with someone else. If they do that as a lifestyle, then they are a missionary. However, certain mission boards do have age qualifications on them, for various reasons. Because of this, it may be more difficult for some people of certain ages to become missionaries, but not impossible. But going through a mission board is not the only way to become a missionary. (See the question link below: "Do you get paid to be a missionary?" for the different ways that a person can become a missionary) A minor can be a missionary if they are with their parents or have the consent of their parents to do mission work. An older person can also be a missionary; I know of several missionaries on their way to the mission field, who not only have grown children, but also grandchildren.

How many years do you have to go to school to be a missionary?
This depends on where you go to school. Some missionaries go to the field without any prior training, which is not recommended but it has been done. Most missionaries attend a Christian college for four years before becoming a missionary. But there are many others who attend two year or one year programs before becoming a missionary. For a recommended one year missionary training school, go to the link on the bottom entitled "What is a school you could attend to become a missionary?"
