"What? Me, a missionary? No, I don't think so."
This is the feeling of almost every person to whom we speak. Nearly everyone has difficulty imagining that God could use them as a missionary.
Guess what? You are exactly the kind of person God is looking for. Consider how He used some of the most unlikely individuals or groups throughout scripture.
"For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God." (1 Corinthians 1:26-29 ESV)
"Okay", you say, "that may indeed be true, but I've never been to seminary. I have no theological training." That's not necessarily an issue either. Check out this list and see how many opportunities we have available for people just like you.
