Most people think of a Missionary as being a religious person sent out to other countries, to disciple people for the purpose of converting them to Christianity or some other religion.
We have all been commanded to go and make disciples of all nations, as noted in Matthew 28:19 (NIV)"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."
That should be our mission in life, to go to work, school, to the grocery store, doctors office, wherever we go and share the love of Christ, God's truth with other's that they may come into the knowledge of the goodness of our Lord, and his love for mankind.
It is not enough to simply hear the word, but we must also be doers of the word, as it is written in James 1:22 (ESV) " Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves."
The Lord God wants to use you, to draw all men unto himself.
If your mission in life is to participate, co-labor with Christ, bringing others into a knowledge of truth, love and life.
You're a Missionary for the Kingdom of God.
