Work as Gospel Ministry

By Larry Sharp | Missionary visas are no longer granted for many countries today. At the same time, we are realizing that being a missionary is not limited to a spiritual professional. Just as God is a missionary God, all his people are called to share with him in his mission work. There is no sacred secular divide. Through sharing and living out the gospel in workplaces, Christians everywhere can fulfil the Creation Mandate, the Great Commandment, and the Great Commission.
