Help with Ministry or Seminary?

I would say C Just don't worry abut it until you get back. God Bless you and pray about.

It is difficult to make these decisions of what to do. Since you're getting married in August, I would guess this is a decision the two of you need to make.

Depending upon what type of mission you'd like to go on, a couple thoughts come to mind. Taking a little bit between your bachelors and masters (assuming that's where you're at), practical experience in the field can definitely benefit your educational experience as you have something to base your studies on - not just conceptualizing based on a textbook.

On the other hand, if you need a greater level of degree to do the mission you wish to go on, then that can help decide that education may be better first.

The next thought I'd suggest consideration of is will you follow through with your mission goals when you are faced with how much time you've already spent in school, and the expenses of doing so.

Most missionaries I've met spent a good amount of time raising money and getting their affairs in order to go where they were called to go. They also spent some time being immersed in cultural and language training to help them before they shipped off. Depending upon your situation and the agency that you go on the mission with, there may be a lot of prep work, so I'd suggest talking with those you are planning to go with or are considering going with.

I attended a college where a one year mission trip was able to be integrated into the program, and studies were done abroad while on the mission field. I didn't do that program, but many did. I'm not sure if a seminary would have that, as this was an undergrad program.

Definitely prayer, not just yours, but those you are accountable to.

I wish you well in your search for a decision. What an awesome calling.
