><h3>Time, effort and sacrifice<\/h3>\n<p>What is often left unnoticed in the dramatic recounting of such exploits is the time, effort and sacrifice prior to those events unfolding. In order for missionaries to be successful, they had to learn at least one new language, understand a new culture, and learn how to communicate the eternal truths and values of the Gospel in that culture. In order to develop a ministry that is self-propagating, self-supporting and self-governing, they must select, train, and release into ministry those disciples who demonstrate leadership potential.<\/p>\n<p>Good missionaries must also first learn to be good administrators of what has been entrusted to them. Then they need to become good leaders who can build effective teams that can win the lost, disciple the saved, empower the disciples and release them into service. They have to be church planters, community developers, counselors, and much more, depending on the type and place of their ministry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-65kpev-e2716d1ff649d018ee8c62791942902c main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-2627'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-258sxz-f1d81a4a04032e20953e2ed62fcdb8b3\">\n.flex_column.av-258sxz-f1d81a4a04032e20953e2ed62fcdb8b3{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-258sxz-f1d81a4a04032e20953e2ed62fcdb8b3 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-14  el_before_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-kbjkai9e-77a5509bc6b4236dee8d897f5eac81aa '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Expertise in various disciplines of evangelism, leadership training and church development<\/h3>\n<p>Over they years they develop expertise in various disciplines of evangelism, leadership training and church development. Furthermore, they have to learn to do this within other cultural parameters. That means missionaries can bring a unique perspective and added insight to church issues that could assist many pastors and congregations. Missionaries have more to give than just a testimony!<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps this is what the apostle Paul meant when he wrote to the Philippians: \u201cYou yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone.\u201d Philippians 4:15<\/p>\n<p>It is true that missionaries need to receive the love, prayers, encouragement, and financial support of congregations who are committed to the Great Command of bringing the Gospel to the whole world. Those whom God calls need to be adequately supported in order for their ministries to be fruitful and growing! Surely, though, we could learn more from our missionaries if we spent time asking them questions that apply to our own church situations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"

note:<\/strong> As the world continues to evolve into a global village, so does the migration of people groups traditionally isolated in the past to particular locations. Local churches are now discovering multi racial and multi cultural societies on their front doorstep.<\/p>\n<p>Poverty and child homelessness become increasingly apparent in cities where it was virtually unknown, posing a major challenge to churches unaccustomed to working with people from backgrounds vastly different from those of people within their congregations. But these are the people with whom missionaries work all the time. Their experience can greatly benefit those churches who are willing to learn from them.
