8 Ways To Be A Missionary

I recently found a post that is "8 ways 2 be a missionary". I loved it. Ever since I came home for my mission I've been trying to master the art of member missionary work. It is definitely hard, but I will not be deterred from my mission!

His last step is "Be not ashamed". This is my all time favorite. How can we expect to share the Gospel if we steer clear of talking about it because we are embarrassed. Be brave!!


See what Matt from The 8 Ways 2 blog teaches how to be a great missionary without even realizing it:

1. Be a good friend
The other day I was talking to a friend from a different church.  I’ve known him for a couple months and had never asked about his religious beliefs.  I felt the time was right and asked him about his faith.  I showed genuine interest in him.
But guess what? I continued asking about him rather than blurting out a wrote response of what I believe or corrections to what he said based on doctrine I follow.  That day will come when I invite him to come unto Christ, but first I must be a good friend who he trusts.
2. Practice what you preach
People watch us.  Those outside of our faith most especially.  They pay attention to what we say and what we do.  The people that seem to radiate the most light are those who have integrity. I’m more likely to listen to what those people have to say. If you know the scriptures backwards and forwards that’s all well and good, but how are you applying it? Do people see the gospel in action when they watch you?
For the other six ways head over to his blog and read them. I promise you won't regret it!

  3. Fun blog! I just came across it through a friend's link. I have a sister that's serving in Kennewick right now. On the topic of your headaches, have you heard of the book "Eat to Live"? It describes some dietary changes that can help.

    1. Thank you! I'm so glad you like it. Oh lucky her, it is the best mission ever! I don't think I've heard of that book. We tried a lot of dietary changes when I came home that didn't give us any results but I'll definitely look check it out. Thank you for sharing!
