Many young people feel a burden to serve God but don’t know where to start.
Mission work isn’t just traveling to distant places—it begins with the heart, the mind, and intentional preparation.
Here are five practical steps to help you step confidently into mission service.
1. Strengthen Your Personal Devotion
Mission begins with who you are before God, not what you do for God.
Daily devotion—prayer, Bible study, and meditation—keeps your heart aligned with heaven.
Jesus often rose early to commune with His Father.
A Sentinel must do the same.
2. Learn the Basics of Evangelism
You don’t need a theology degree to share Christ.
Start with simple tools:
How to give a Bible study
How to share your testimony
How to engage people in conversation
How to pray with someone
The Sentinels Call offers trainings that break this down clearly and practically.
3. Develop Practical Skills
Mission requires both spiritual depth and hands-on ability.
Useful skills include:
First aid and basic health knowledge
Cooking healthy meals
Public speaking
Simple medical missionary skills
Using digital tools for evangelism
Literature distribution
Personal organization and journaling
Small skills become powerful when submitted to God.
4. Join a Mission Team
Where possible, don’t serve alone.
A mission team provides:
Support
Accountability
Experience
Skill-sharing
Emotional and spiritual strengthening
Short-term mission trips are a great place to start.
You learn on the field, grow through real encounters, and see God move in ways that transform you.
5. Live a Life of Consistency
Mission isn’t an event—it’s a lifestyle.
Your daily routine, Sabbath life, dress, habits, and relationships testify of Christ.
A life of purity and consistency gives power to your mission.
Conclusion
Every missionary started as a beginner.
What matters is not perfection—but willingness.
If you feel a burden for mission, it’s a sign that God has already begun equipping you.
