Missionaries

Alexander Walters

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.

The MORVAVIONS

Catholic missionaries are attempting to fulfill their baptismal promises. To believe in Jesus Christ, is of necessity, to be a missionary. Anyone who sincerely believes in the Good News of God's salvation offered to every human being on earth, cannot help but share it. Anyone who does not pursue his vocation to be a missionary should not hold out a serious hope of the Beatific Vision.

The three places of Pauls journey were Corinth, Antioch and Thesolonica.

They helped spread the word of God. They showed that European people weren't bad.

Jim and Elisabeth Elliot have one daughter, Valerie. She was ten months old when Jim was killed.

The duties of a welfare officer in the church will vary from church to church. Their main duties are to just work with those in need of the church such as giving them food or money for utilities.

David Livingstone (1813-1873). British Congregationalist missionary serving with the London Missionary Society.

In the book of Acts it is said Paul went on his third missionary journey along with his companion who were his co workers they were young men called Silas and Barnabas.

• Monks traditionally isolate themselves from the outside world, often to avoid being "contaminated" by it.
• Missionaries traditionally go out on "missions" into the outside world to spread the Gospel.

Jim Elliot was a missionary in Ecuador to the Auca Indians. He died when he was trying to communicate with the Indians on January 8, 1956. He died with Nate Saint, Pete Fleming, and Roger Youderian. They didn't injure a single Auca. Later, Nate Saints wife and children went to live with the Aucas and befriended the very Aucas that had killed her husband.

People moved to the mountains to hunt animals for clothing that were in high demand at the time. People then moved to the west to buy the clothing.

In January 2012, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) reported having 55,410 proselyting missionaries and 9,251 humanitarian and welfare missionaries worldwide.

According to religious leaders, Paul the apostle traveled 14,000 miles. He is said to have made several missions throughout his life.

While this depends somewhat on how one defines the term missionary, the first Christian that appeared to take on the missionary role was Philip the Evangelist. He was first mentioned in Acts 6:5 in the Bible. However, his missionary travels are described in Acts 8:5-40. He served in the first decades of the church in the 1st century AD.

Father Junípero Serra was the first Jesuit missionary in the North American southwest. He established the mission at San Diego in 1769.

It lets a believer understand the world he/she lives in and most importantly the joy of eternal life that God promised his followers. a) Christians continued to use Latin and Greek and, thus, assured the preservation of these languages while enriching them with new vocabulary and conceptual frameworks.b) Christian patronage put an end to the building bust of the third-century world and created a new and dynamic architecture. c) Christian art spread widely and found creative ways to reinterpret classical motifs and styles while adding new ones. d)Christian poets carried on the classical tradition. By assigning power to celibate men, Christianity created a new kind of society that also was a "democracy of sin." e) Christian martyrs and saints created a new kind of hero-figure. f) A new morality assured women a more secure place in society. g) Slowly but surely, Christian ethics pervaded secular law.

Depends on the preacher. Some preachers might preach for attention or popularity, which is never right. The purpose of preachers (who arent fake) is to be used by and let God speak through them, sometimes for a whole congregation to hear something that God has wanted them to hear, or maybe just a single person.

Initially it was Paul and Barnabas and Silas, but Barnabas wanted to bring John Mark, but Paul said no because John Mark had left them earlier. So Barnabas left with John Mark and Paul and Silas continued on. Timothy joins them later and Luke is also there.
