If everyone loved their own neighbor in their own town, the world would be a better place. Like you, I wish the word missionary was something everyone accurately understood, including the fact that it's something everyone in the church is/should already be! I love how the church you're referring to stopped using the word...whatever it takes to help people remove the hurdles and go do and be what they're called to. Thanks for the comments...I couldn't agree more! Shane – Absolutely! If everyone loved their own neighbor in their own town, the world would be a better place.

But, of course, the flip side is, you don't even have to travel to be a missionary. Most people know plenty of people in their own home town, who need to experience God's love. They might even be as close as their own family, street or workplace! The truth is the word missionary is used to confuse people into thinking you need to be super-spiritual or an expert in theology in order to share the Gospel. You don't. That is why I know of one church that has sent out lots of missionaries. But has stopped using the word 'missionary', because everyone in the church is a missionary. Great post.
