Internship Q & A

Am I Good Enough to be a cross cultural missionary?

No. No one is good enough to do anything. And isn’t that a relief? We cannot do this outside of the Lord’s help. I keep coming back to the fact that the disciples weren’t qualified. They were only qualified because Jesus chose them. We are all chosen by God. I am no great evangelist. I’m pretty rubbish at sharing my faith. When I let people close enough, I am happy to tell them how much Jesus loves them and to share how much Jesus has done for me. I’m not someone who just approaches strangers and starts sharing the gospel. When I was applying to AT3 I kept asking God if he was really calling me because I felt so unqualified. I am learning so much about who God is and about his church. God keeps showing me that he is good and that I need only to have faith. Trusting that he would provide the money to get to the UK was only the beginning of how my faith would be tested. He keeps proving himself faithful and I keep proving myself inadequate. That doesn’t feel like a good place to be but I think it might be the best place. If I don’t believe with everything in my being that God can cover over my sin then how can I share with others that he can cover over their sins too?
