“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there
are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the
manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and
to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another
gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to
distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.” 1
Corinthians 12:411
Now, being a missionary doesn’t mean you even have to go to another
country. There is SO much sin and
darkness in our world, in our schools, in our
government, and even in our churches and
hometowns. It is truly everyhwere! What’s the
hope? Knowing that the Lord is capable of reaching
to the lowest and darkness of places.
If the Lord is calling you to go to another place,
however, there is a term missionaries use called the
10/40 window. If you haven’t heard about that term,
it refers to those regions located between 10 and 40
degrees north of the equator, an area with the least
reached places in the world.
