Missions: a pre-requisite for Bible College

An awareness of world mission is an essential dimension of Christian discipleship. Without it, we have little idea of the universality of the Gospel and its power to transcend cultural barriers.

One way to build up this awareness is through reading missionary literature - many groups produce regular prayer letters. The exploits of missionaries from previous generations can be read about in powerful books.

But it's the personal touch that counts. Gt to know the missionaries supported by your on church. Pray for them, support them, write to them. Spend time with them when they are on furlough.

If there is an opportunity to visit them on the field as a form of short term service, do so. It will be a rewarding experience.
