If you could be a missionary ...

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

If you could be a missionary anywhere where would you go?
I would definitely go to China...

I'd go to Peru, Japan, or ... India?

Depending, of course, on God's will. :P

Mexico. :anxious:

I know, I know. Not very diverse, am I? But hey. :p

India, or New Zealand would be sweet, too. \:D/

And then there's always this place called the United States of America. But who would want to go there? :-s

The United States is a really tough place to be a missionary. You should go to Russia! :D

What do you mean "if"?

If you want to go on the mission field, pray about it, and see where God leads. Perhaps He's called you there!

If I felt the call to be a missionary. I would hope it would be to Japan. That place needs a lot of help mission wise. Less than .2 percent are Christians, I think. Also, I have always wanted to learn Japanese. It would make an awesome excuse

Same here. I totally would go to any three of those palces, plus El Salvador, and Ecuador.

As always, God's will (and I will say I may not get to exit this country in my lifetime... at the rate my life is going)

I already plan on being a missionary. a missionary nurse.
I mainly want to go to South America but I also want to go to the Middle East (mainly the Muslim areas), India, Africa, Russia, China, the whole world other the the U.S. of A. (no offense America. :D)
wherever God tells me to go I will go, no matter what.

Keep it in prayer. If God puts China on your heart, than maybe He's calling you to go there eventually.

Man, I wish you all had a P. Scibelli in your church. MISSIONS! It's the whole point!

It depends on where God calls me, that's if it's His will for me to be a missionary. I can't predict if or where, but I can wait for Him to reveal His will to me. O:)

It also depends on where I might be the most useful. I might like to go the Africa, but I'm not very good with languages. :-k

:oops: my bad. I don't really memorize the names of the episodes. I just like listening to them. :D

I remember that one. we can witness to people here in America but I'm being called elsewhere. It's what God has placed on my heart. When I grow up and graduate collage I will go. Until then I am a witness to all I meet. Through the way I live and when God tells me to speak I speak.
