The development of these tools is one of the most significant events in the fulfilling of the great commission for our generation. I am really excited about these technical advances, but I do think that we need to remind ourselves that just as sharper tools demand a better craftsman, improved methods demand purer motives. As we seek better technical training, we must not forget the crying need in missions today is for spiritual men. If missionary technology increases our ability to reach our goals, it becomes that much more important that we be able to recognize our deviances from the will of God. This kind of wisdom comes not through technology, but through spiritual men.
Spirituality is undoubtedly the most difficult thing for a mission board to judge.
That puts the burden on you and those who know you. Get to know yourself and let those close to you know you too. Seek their counsel about your state of spiritual growth and possible missionary service. When it comes to spirituality there is little profit in fooling anyone. While there may be no Christian personality, the personality of each Christian is drastically affected by his spiritual rebirth.
