about the book

 

“The highest and best use of anyone’s life is to do exactly what God leads them to do in the places where He leads them to do it.”

 

Christians of all ages recognize the heartbeat of God to take the Gospel to the nations and often wrestle with the implications of the Great Commission in their own lives. The Missionary Call explores the biblical, historical, and practical aspects of discerning and following God’s call to nations. Dr. Sills addresses common misconceptions about the missionary call while also answering key practical questions on the minds of those discerning a call to missions:

• Do all Christians have the missionary call?

• How can you know whether you have the missionary call?

• Is the missionary call a lifelong call?

• How does being single impact the missionary call?

• What should you do if your spouse does not share your sense of call?

• If you have the missionary call, how do you know where to serve?

Whether you know you are called, or are still struggling to know God’s will, The Missionary Call will help you discern your place in God’s plan for the world.

“The missionary call includes an awareness of the needs of a lost world, the commands of Christ, a concern for the lost, a radical commitment to God, your church’s blessing and commissioning, a fervent desire, the Spirit’s gifting, your passion, and an indescribable yearning that motivates beyond all understanding. In the rest of this book, we will examine the missionary call and try to find our place in God’s plan for His world.”

 

"The Bible is perfectly clear. In the Gospel is power for salvation. Without it, no one can be saved. The nations must hear. Jesus has commanded us to reach and teach the lost with the Gospel. God has commanded us to go to the nations and proclaim the glory of Christ until they do, too. It falls to us to be senders or goers. Which are you?”
