Being a Missionary
|
- Build relationships with people of a
different ethnic or cultural background
- Volunteer at a bilingual church
- Seek out missionary kids, third-culture kids,
and international students and ask them about their
culture

through Asbury
|
- Become actively involved in outreach within
my local community
- Volunteer at your local church (teach Sunday
school, help with the youth group, help on church
work days).
- Get involved in the student-led ministries of
CSA
- Join other Asbury students to make a difference
in the community during Reach Out events
|
- Serve on a short-term mission trip
- Research summer, spring break, and Christmas
break mission trips that go out from Asbury
- Many organizations offer longer-term trips,
measured in months and not weeks, to get a better
feel for a culture and a ministry (with WGM, this
would be our VIA program)

the future

missionaries

the Great Commission anywhere, at any time, and in any
way that God calls me
