While there are important ways to be involved with missions<br />
from home, many discover that going in person to another<br />
culture is both fulfilling and strategic. But with so many service<br />
opportunities around the world, how do you pick just one? Or do<br />

missionaries have found how, when, and where in the world God<br />
wanted them to serve.<br />
