Last week was the first of a special type of prayer meeting in my church. It's all about being a missionary in your place of work. What happens is several different members of the church go up the front, say what they work as, the non christians they work with and the challenges they go through and what they need praying for. We then have a time of prayer for them before the next person goes up to share. It was truly amazing to hear what some people do and how they rely on god through all different circumstances.
The meeting is all based around how we should as Christians be showing off Gods glory through work and how we are responsible for being missionaries to the non-Christians that we work with. Not in the sense of preaching instead of working, but more like being salt and light in work and showing that we are different through Christ.
I don't know about you but I never thought of myself as a missionary. As I've always seen that the name missionary is only given to 'elite' Christians that go off church planting in some country I've never heard of. But it is amazing to think that I am in the place of work I am in currently not only to earn some money and improve my cv but more importantly to show off the glory of my god and try to show people how Jesus has changed my life and ultimately be a missionary.
