I'M NOT SURE ABOUT ME AND MISSIONSIT'S A PROCESS

I am just entering halftime (about age 45-52) and wondering what will make the second-half of my adult life significant. Missions is just one of the options I am interested in. Are there resourses to coach me?

I want to learn more about missions in general.

I want to learn more about specific countries — their people, culture and climate.

I want to learn specifics about the wide range of ways I can plug into missions with my background and interests.

I want some step by step help in discovering my calling.



Still not sure? You are not alone. In a 1998 research survey of 600 evangelicals, age 42-55, the two leading questions in the minds of people were
  1. Is this God's will for my life? and
  2. What about finances and raising support?
How do I determine God's call on my life? See the sections on —
