Why am I a missionary? - Valeriia Wiser

Why do I choose to be a missionary? Because I strongly believe it is not a complimentary church activity but an expected behavior as you mature in your christian walk. To get to know His will on your life- don't look any further than an open Bible and a spread out world map. Why do I choose to be a missionary to Ukraine? I would answer quoting a brother in Christ and a missionary to China W. Borden: "If ten men are carrying a log -- nine of them on the little end and one at the heavy end -- and you want to help, which end will you lift on?" . On which side of the log are you today? And if you are on neither - thrilling and the most fulfilling journey of all still awaits ahead.

Excerpt from Pentecostal Light

"Reader, if you would understand the wonderful revelations of God's Word, give up all your own wisdom and sit down meek and lowly at the feet of Jesus, and abandon yourself to the Holy Ghost, that He may teach you the deep things of God. We learn, in I. Cor. iii., that the first lesson in the school of Christ is to find out that we are fools. I. Cor. ii. teaches us that the Word of God can not be discerned by the human intellect. The Holy Spirit must teach your spirit His revealed Word and will, or you will remain a spiritual ignoramus. God's Word is the sword with which we are to conquer the world, flesh and Satan. You do not need colleges and theologians to reveal to you God's Word, but you need the Holy Ghost to illuminate it."
