Missionaries go out from the church to reach to those who are outside of the church. As long as there are people who are not being reached by local churches, there is a need for missionaries. Often this include crossing national, language, cultural, or sub-cultural barriers. One might divide church ministries into three categories.
1. member care. caring for those who are in the church.
2. church growth. going outside of the church to bring people into the local church.
3. mission. going outside of church to minister with no presumption that people will come into that same church.
If one looks at those three choices. People who are not believers who live in a different culture will not ministered to by member care ministries (since they are not in the church). They will not be ministered to by church growth ministries (since distance or cultural barriers) will make them inaccessible to the local church. It takes missionaries who are willing to leave their home church and work with those who would otherwise never be reached.
