When we talk about being called as a missionary, we are referring to the idea that God has chosen us for a specific mission in His name. This can mean different things for different people, but it always involves a sense of being called by God to do something special. For some people, this might mean being called to be a preacher or evangelist in their local community. For others, it might mean moving to another country to share the gospel with those who have never heard it before. And still for others, it might mean working full-time in a ministry setting or preaching occasionally at their church. But whatever form it takes, being called as a missionary always implies that we have been specifically chosen by God to share the love of Christ with the lost.
