Has anyone here ever thought about being a missionary? I'm personally not all that convinced I'm called to be one, but the idea crosses my mind every once in a while. When I read about places that aren't all that hard/illegal to go to but still don't have Christian populations it does make me want to consider helping out.
These are some of the questions that I think about some time and I would love to hear others opinions on. Would it be better to be a missionary sooner and while single, or would it be better to become a missionary with a wife and possibly family. Should you try to work regularly there, or should you try to find funders and have the mission be your work. If your going to be a missionary do you need to take a pastoral position, or could you go as a layperson preparing the area for a church with an eventual priest?(Or pastor or whatever is relevant to you)
