A missionary’s life is full of
adventure and challenge. S/he can rarely complain of an uneventful day. Each
day brings with it new challenges to be faced, obstacles to be overcome and
hearts to be won. A missionary’s life is one of constant activity because s/he
has to take the Good News to a large amount of people who have not heard about
it. This makes the work critical and yet delicate because the manner in which
the Good News is communicated is as important as the content itself. One cannot
preach about Joy is one carries
around a long face everywhere, neither can one teach forgiveness if one has not
learned to turn the other cheek oneself. So while the proclamation of the
Gospel is a top priority, a prerequisite is practicing all that one preaches.
