My opologies, I didn't mean to offend at all. I spoke before I thought, and I didn't clearly understand what you were saying. So for that I am sorry, I do understand what you saying now and do agree with your sentiments. Thank you for being patient with me.

You know I actually find it difficult not to agree with you, because it sounds very convincing. But I just know it is not true. I have so many examples of people who have made such great impacts in foreign countries who were not of that country. Jim Elliot(Quichua Indians), Hudson Taylor(China)...

Well I have never been the one to really promote doing things like what you mentioned. I won't really cast any judgement because I guess it works for some people, but you are right it does seem like you are salesman selling God. In saying that, I may be reading into what you are saying, but you...

What do you mean by scoping out? And why do you not like the idea of talking to just anybody about God? I am just curious as I am not sure what it is that you are meaning? Are you talking about going up to some arbitrary individual on the street that you are waiting on and trying to convert him...

It doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing. First thing is your relationship with Christ, this is the most important thing. And the so called "home missions", well their shouldn't be a difference in a "missionary" who is in a relationship with Christ in another country, or an...

[/color][/font]In my opinion I cannot imagine many things more difficult and more rewarding as missions work. Short term missions trip can be fun, but they are often misleading to what it is like to live the life of a missionary. In saying that I do not want to discourage short term missions...

Out of curiousity are either of you missionaries? I mean are you talking from experience or opinion? And let me define a missionary as a foriegn missionary, or should I say the traditional definition....just so that I don't get a reply back saying "Well how do you define missionary or whatever"...

I read your initial post and some of the replies in the forum, and found the whole thing quite fascinating. And I would say that I disagree on some things, agree on others. But there is one thing that I really disagree, and it is not with your logic. Because your logic is fairly sound. The...

I agree and disagree, firstly I completely agree that native missionaries do a better job. But there are still not enough. I would love to see native missionaries making dynamic and wonderful changes to their community, there are just not enough. And those that have the heart to do this still...

I have been fortunate enough to marry someone with the desire that I have. We are not currently on the mission field, but I was for many years and she has had much experience in it. We are currently waiting on the Lord for the moment when he will ask us to give up everything and follow him to...

I agree here 100%, the lost are lost....no matter where they are in the world. Here is a bit of the problem though. In America there is not really a problem with the amount of people serving in ministry, my view on it is the quality. Due to various things the quality of ministry is lacking in...

Don't try and force the issue, not because you don't want to but let the Lord control and guide the situation. As soon as you try and take control, God allows you....and that is the worst thing that can happen. Your attitude of love and accpetance....no matter who they are...will attract them to...

Come before the Lord, repent and obey. Pray for guidance and above all when you are sharing, share sincerely and openly with the people. They do not want to hear from people who are super spiritual, because most Christians just want to relate to other Christians. And if you come across super...

It doesn't really matter what you are called, they could call you a shoe salesman for all I care. What you do is what is important, and what you are doing is furthering the Kingdom of God. I commend you for it, and pray you are able to be a witness to those around you, whether it is in Georgia...

Of course it is truth is extremely exclusive, and there can only be one truth and so some people are gonna be wrong. I mean if you are right than I am wrong, by that measure you are exclusive. Well trust us he did, he said "I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except...

Well I am still young, and was lucky to be born to a father who has dedicated his life to saving the lost, and I was lucky to experience that and many things in Africa that are just wonderful. But currently I am a Software Engineer, not all very inspiring. God has not allowed me to move, no...

From my experience it is true....I wasn't really asking a question. I have been on the mission field my whole life, only until recently have I found myself outside of the mission field, which is distressing to me a lot of the time, and produces interesting challenges that I am not used too. But...

Almost all data I have found on facts given to why women have abortions agrees within a margin of error for the statistics that were given. I may not be looking hard enough but I haven't found in pro-choice website with any statistics on reasons why. However I have found both unbiased (if you...

If I am right (which I believe I am) then it is actually universal truth. Just like you believe you know the universal truth, as do I. I know it isn't true by deduction. I believe that Christianity is true, therefore all other religions must not be true. Like you are with Hinduism, otherwise...
