MC’s Testimony - Mission Ready
“I don't pretend to be excellent and successful for world filters, I strive to be an excellent professional for the extension of the Kingdom”, says MC. She continually faces questioning from people in her context, who think she is wasting her talents because going into the field is an easy task and doesn´t require a lot of preparation. But contrary to society's thinking, going to the field requires demanding work, where one must not only be a professional in one area, but also learn other languages and have a character formation to be a living testimony of God's Love.
From the time MC received her call in college to go to Central Asia, she has worked hard to prepare herself and has worked on multiple projects with refugees from Iran and Afghan, which has contributed to her training to undertake the long-term mission.
MC knows in the field there are many challenges, as well as opportunities to share the good news, so she insists on the importance of training. She also believes that education and educational entities can also be an effective bridge to spreading the Gospel in hard-to-reach places. For example, the university MC attended was where she was reached and received her calling, so she feels confident she can also connect with young women and share the Gospel in the same settings.
She knows advancing professionally for a woman in cultures such as those of Central Asia is complex, but for those who succeed it is an honor, and through this desire to outdo themselves, she could establish a connection with them.
Without detracting from God's original design, it is possible to show them that they have both opportunities and souls that they must prepare to transform their community. MC says "My hope is to be able to share with these young women that we must prepare ourselves for eternal life, and I know I will be able to contribute with my professional experience and my skills". In addition, the most important thing is that the Word of God sown in young people changes, transforms, and improves decision-making, society and the future of communities.
If you have a calling like MC's to go to the field, remember it requires preparation to develop skills and strategies to build bridges to the unreached, so we invite you to get trained. By being equipped we can together reach God's plan in ways we never dreamed possible!
