Calling

a sense of God’s call on someone’s life to make a difference wherever He sends them

• The church should establish a discernment process for anybody who may feel a call to work cross-culturally.
• The church’s role is critical - sadly many missionaries who end up leaving prematurely for preventable reasons should never have gone in the first place!
• The call needs to be tested, and the candidate’s maturity and readiness need to be assessed.
