8. INDICATORS OF EFFECTIVE MISSIONARS AND THEIR MISSION

9. WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT THE FIRST MISSIONARS: wordyaleo serials 2016 39

10. 10  Out of weakness they were made strong.  They were as weak, broken, vulnerable, sinful, and as ordinary as the rest of us.

11.  Which is precisely what qualified them – and qualifies people today – to take the message of Jesus to other parts of the world. wordyaleo serials 2016 311

12. wordyaleo serials 2016 312

13. wordyaleo serials 2016 313 They did not rely on their own strength. On the contrary, they were weak-made-strong followers of Jesus.

14. LET GOD HAVE YOUR LIFE. HE CAN DO MORE WITH IT THAN YOU CAN.

15. INDICATORS 1. FAITH They have personally experienced the transforming work of the gospel and can't keep this news to themselves. It's too precious! wordyaleo serials 2016 315

16.  They know Jesus and want others to know Him too.  You wouldn't call them half-hearted! wordyaleo serials 2016 316

17. wordyaleo serials 2016 317  They would give their lives so that others might live.  Such is their faith in God.

18. 2. TEACHABILITY  These are not people who think they have "arrived" in terms of what they know or how great they are. wordyaleo serials 2016 318

19. wordyaleo serials 2016 319  They do not think they have nothing more to learn. Rather, they crave new learning opportunities, seek out mentors, depend on others, and ask advice.

20. 3. HUMILITY  Good cross-cultural workers recognize that they no longer belong to themselves but to Jesus, and, as such, there's a humility about them. wordyaleo serials 2016 320

21.  They are prepared to do what others won't or can't do, and they don't need the credit for it. wordyaleo serials 2016 321

22.  They deflect praise when people commend them for "being so sacrificial" and absorb criticism when people think they're crazy.

23.  The people who make good cross-cultural workers are qualified by their weakness… knowing their strength is in Christ. wordyaleo serials 2016 323

24.  That's how it works in God's kingdom; we are not disqualified by our weakness, but by our subtle resistance to God's will in our lives. wordyaleo serials 2016 324

25.  What qualifies us for service in the kingdom of God is as Hudson Taylor, missionary to China put it: "God was looking for a man weak enough to use, and he found me." wordyaleo serials 2016 325

26. 4. EFFECTIVENESS They have a spiritual track record, and are known for their hard work. wordyaleo serials 2016 326

27.  They understand that if they are not sharing Jesus with people here, it's unlikely they will share Jesus with people somewhere else in the world! wordyaleo serials 2016 327

28.  Leaders at their churches recognize that God has wired them for mission. wordyaleo serials 2016 328

32.  Their prayer is "Here I am Lord, send me!" wordyaleo serials 2016 332

33. wordyaleo serials 2016 333  They understand that life offers them countless options, but, weighing it up, and risking criticism, they prioritize mission.

34. wordyaleo serials 2016 334 They understand that life offers them countless options, but, weighing it up, and risking criticism, they prioritize mission.

35.  God is able to make you into all you need to be. wordyaleo serials 2016 335

36.  The only required characteristic for being a missionary is that you have complete and utter faith in the Lord. wordyaleo serials 2016 336

38. wordyaleo serials 2016 338 God does not choose the equipped... He equips the chosen.
