Spiritual disciplines

Keine Ahnung wie du deine Zeiten mit Jesus gestaltest. Vielleicht bist du der klassische Typ, der jeden Tag zu selben Uhrzeit eine Stillezeit machst. Du nimmst dir regelmäßig eine halbe Stunde Zeit mit Gott, liest deine Bibel und redest mit Jesus. Wenn das bei dir so ist, dann herzlichen Glückwunsch. Die Stillezeit scheint zu dir zu passen. Super!

If someone asks you how he/she can become a missionary, what would you answer?

God chooses very different ways to tell different people that they should go and where they should go. My wife and I both grew up on the mission field, so we were familiar with the idea and a possible lifestyle of mission. We had good examples through our parents and their colleagues. Nevertheless, there is no automatism to enter the mission field only because your parents have been Christian workers. We both have three siblings each and none of them ended up on the mission field.

Uno stralcio della relazione di Rino Sciaraffa:

L'objectif d'Operation World est d'informer les chrétiens sur la situation de leur pays, des pays voisins et du reste du monde et de les mobiliser à la prière et à un ministère dans les endroits de la terre qui en ont le plus besoin.

Katharina von Dessien writes:

As a missionary kid, missions has always been real and normal for me. I loved hanging around with other people, feeling at home in the world and having a broad perspective for other people and cultures. It is truly awesome being a part of God’s plan and work in this wide, wide world! Stories from all over the world can be encouraging and challenging.

“God, what do you want me to do?” asked Jannes Kalkhuis (Netherlands) at Mission 1987. He had recently completed his studies in construction administration and military service, and had the desire to serve the Lord.
