What it takes to be a missionary

What it takes to be a Missionary

A Missionary needs

The wisdom of an owl,

The tenacity of a bulldog,

The daring of a lion

The patience of a donkey,

The versatility of a chameleon,

The vision of an eagle,

The melody of the nightingale,

The meekness of a lamb

The tack of a politician,

The hide of a rhinoceros;

The disposition of an angel,

The resignation of an incurable,

The faithfulness of a prophet,

The tenderness of a shepherd,

The fervency of an evangelist,

The devotion of a mother,

The sacrifice of a martyr,

And the loyalty of an apostle.

But, missionaries are not born.

They are made.

They are made out of the ordinary run of individuals

The basic qualification

Is not intellectualism, but

A yielded spirit,

A devotion to the will of God,

And a deep sense of call

Re: What it takes to be a missionary

Sounds like any preacher, missionary, apostle. Especially in other countries.
