What is the real purpose of being a missionary ? Is it not to reach those who are hungry naked sick to give them money to provide to also visit christians in prison and other prisoners to let others know their situation ? for isnt that what christ commanded to preach that one should be preaching the whole gospel. But actually it seems it is not God will for all to travel abroad as they are not protected. We should just support from where we are those in such situation which is the job of christians who are protected to reach all those to record them unless christ specifically calls us. How might we help support christian prisoners and other prisoners overseas is there anyway we can help ?

How might people help the needy if one is poor without money ? How can they fulfill matthew 25 even if they seek to work to help they may die before they make money

Missionary work has been working to spread the message of God and start local churches and support local churches and help the needy and help prisoners. It is all of this.

And while the United States has provided missionary service to various locations, now we have missionaries coming to America from places where America has had missionaries! Ones are coming here, for example, in order to help save American Christians from being entitled and overly comfortable with the luxury we can have here.

So, we pray and do what God has us do.

But are people called to be missionary as easiest way to be saved if they have not yet helped all the needy which I mean if God has confirmed they have helped all that need to be helped atleast one of each who is hungry naked sick in prison and stranger or as much as God confirms is required ? What if they are killed before helping all the needy if God sees it that they did when they were not called that is their fault if they are killed for not being wise. But I think God accepts anyone repentance so if they repent of it and they are killed they will be accepted but how is it then they get away with not choosing instead not to be missionary until they do help the needy and are called or does God count that because it was their decision to go against Him not being called if they are killed it is their fault not to accept their repentance.

It seems only those who are stable who know God who gives them assurance that they are accepted or have already walked enough in His way to be ready to die to be missionary who are called.

I think it is right to trust God since He wants His word out that one should not be afraid to be a missionary even if you have not yet reached many needy people that if killed before should trust God to give chance to do works to complete salvation in world to come. That one should plant churches everywhere and just serve the needy who come to church and other needy and not deny your faith to let them know you are christian and if want to know more to share faith and direct them to your church that helps not seeking death but if happens and if killed should trust God that He will give another chance in world to come to be saved but it is recommended by christ to be wise and said to go 2 by 2 and flee if there is persecution that should go in church group that is protected.

Trust God our Heavenly Father to do what He wants with you >

"casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)

He is able to communicate with you and guide you.

In Mark 3:14 we have that Jesus chose His twelve disciples >

"that they might be with Him" >

not only that they would serve Jesus.

Our basic calling is that we be with Jesus, so we can share with Him, so we experience how He is and how He shares with us, corrects us, and has us learning how to love with Him.

This way, we have His meaning of what He teaches us and tells us to do to serve Him.

Jesus came and shared personally with people. And in personal relating He gave us His word.

So, how does missionary work work, then?

Some will yo-yo to people > preach to people, build a church for them, have a schedule and programs.

Others visit people and share in their lives with them. And they even visit their homes every day. They feed them their example in their real lives, every day. So, their people know what they mean, because they see and feed on how they share and care as family of God.
