Definition
Missionary
A missionary is a person who has been called (internally and externally), to leave their home and travel across significant barriers, most often geographic, cultural, and especially linguistic, to plant or strengthen a church or churches. Their mission is to obey the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:18-20, where Jesus tells us to go out and make disciples of all nations. Characterized by an instinct to evangelize, ability to endure hardship, they know their Bible well, and love Christ and His Church.
