Today I introduced myself to someone and gave my name and current employer, then I whispered, what I'm really doing soon is taking an adventure. I said I was going to start in Peru in September and take my guitar and talk about Jesus. The guy smiled and exclaimed-"Missionary! You are a missionary, just say it!" I paused and thought about it and realized that is right, I just hadn't thought about putting that name on it. So the next person at the meeting I talked to I used my new word, missionary. Pretty exciting.
Webster's says missionary is:
| A person sent on a religious mission, esp. one sent to promote Christianity in a foreign country. |
|
The free dictionary's definition is:
1. One who is sent on a mission, especially one sent to do religious or charitable work in a territory or foreign country.
2. One who attempts to persuade or convert others to a particular program, doctrine, or set of principles; a propagandist.
and their definition for Propaganda-
|
Material disseminated by the advocates or opponents of a doctrine or cause
|
Missionary-I thought I was just doing what God called me to do but there's a name for it.
I'm amazed.
