Everyone should be in full time ministry because we are not part time christians.
Matthew 28:19-20
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo; I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
In Mark 16:15 it says, and he said tothem, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."
It doesn't matter if you go overseas or just across the street. The bible says 'all nations' this includes your own.
Mission is not an optional extra for those who like that sort of thing. It should be a way of life. Christ's body are God's agents and representitives.
2 Timothy 4:5
But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangalist, fulfil your ministry.
God has given every christian the ministry of sharing their faith with others and to lead people to Christ. God wants all His children to fulfil their ministry.
All christians should develop their spiritual skills and confidence to share their faith.
Witnessing isn't an activity, it's a way of life. Witnessing is looking at Jesus and then telling others what you've seen.
We are called to share. As in the courtroom, we're called to be a witness for the gospel. We're not the lawyer, judge, or jury. We need to leave that up to God.
Philemon 1:6
I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith.
We need to step out in faith and not be afraid to be seen as imperfect or weird.
God knows what can be accomplished with the little that we have to offer him. God has called us, we are answerable to him with what we do.
The strongest way to be a witness for Christ is to walk in His ways and live in His freedom.
