Get off the couch!

Have you ever wondered what inspires those crazy people who decide to leave everything and go be a missionary in another culture?  Is the idea of doing missions in a foreign country scary to you?  Or ludicrous?  Or perhaps you’ve never really considered whether missions could be for you.

Well you have a golden opportunity to indulge your curiosity about missions in the fun, interactive and immersive ‘Be A Missionary For A Night’ that will be run bySt Matts as part of our Global Gospel Focus.  You will step into the cultures of Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa and draw from the experiences of missionaries and mission agencies as they share and discuss what both short and long-term missions would be like in those cultures.

If the idea of doing missions seems scary to you, then this will be a chance for you to take away the fear factor by imagioning for a night that you are a missionary, and exploring what it would really be like. If doing missions is something that you’ve never really though about, then here is a chance for you to find out why everyone can get something out of a short-term missions trip, even if you don’t see yourself as ‘missionary’ material.

The ‘Be A Missionary For A Night’ event will run on Saturday 19th June, 7pm – 9:30pm @ St Matts. Internaltional food will be provided. Bring all your tricky questions as if you were actually applying to be a missionary. Entry is by gold coin donation.

So, as we at MIA like to put it, ‘get off the couch, and just do it!’  In the end, missions is about leaving our comfort-zone to go share the gospel with people who need to hear it.  Is your vision big enough for God’s vision for the world?  What’s stopping you from giving missions a try?
