GOD IS A MISSIONARY GOD BY KHANKHUP

Our
story begins about 4000 years ago with amen called Abraham is more
accurately. The calls of Abraham and promised to him was indispensable
understanding of the Bible and of the Christian missions. God said to
him," Abraham goes away from your father household and kindred (Gen
12:1-4). It is not an easy task for Abraham to leave his beloved
parents and household. Our God is missionary God that imaged we can
recognized by the calling of Jonah. The life of Jonah shows that "how much we don't have missionary mind".
Even though still he loves us sending His begotten son who was
missionaries 33 years and now the same mission was given to us," Go,
and preach the gospel to all creatures" (MK 16:15). "Our living God is a missionary God, we His children should be like our Father God" 2. (2) THE APOSTOLIC MISSIONARY METHODS (AD1-99): Paul,
the Apostle to the Gentiles and the real foreign missionary movement is
launched. Even after this, God has to correct the persistent tendency
to narrower vision and effort by halting Paul in his second missionary
tour to Asia Minor. Paul himself, in a carrier that knows no parallel in missionary annals, eventually reaches Italy and even Spain. The aim of apostolic missions was, "to make
Jesus Christ known to all men as the only savior from sin".
The policy of missions is the widest diffusions, in contrast to any
narrower delimitation. Robert Hall Glover stated, "The responsibility
of mission's rests upon every members of Christ. The only hope lies in
responded to the truth "Every Christian a missionary" 3. The followings are applicable for apostolic missionary methods (AD1-99). (A) Oral Preaching: This is the supreme method for all time. He ordained twelve that he might send them forth to preach (Mk 3:14)." They went forth and preached everywhere "(Mk 16:20)".
It's include open air preaching and this methods adopted by Jesus.
There is need for a revival of preaching idea, and for a deepening
sense of the Glory and dignity of simple gospel preaching. Would Gods
will give to every mission fields among His Children's like moody,
Whitefield, Billy Graham great soul, impassion, convincing and through
them show forth the true power of preaching! (B) Strategic centers:  Such centers as Jerusalem, Capernaum, Antioch, Ephesus, Corinth, and Rome
stand out for too plainly in New Testament missions for us to escape
the lessons of the importance of similar centers for today with their
vast populations and powerful radiating influences. (C) Itineration:  Witness
Jesus Successive Galilean circuits and Paul missionary tours. Such work
still demands its full share of attention along with the centers and
must be systematic and sustained to yield the full results. It has two
ends in viewed (1) The Proclaiming of the gospel to the unsaved. (2)
The visitation of groups of convert for teaching and oversight. (Acts 8:14, 25: 11:22-26) 4. (D) Personal work and social intercourse:
Looking again at the Master's ministry one has only to think of
nicodemus, the women at sychars well, zacheus, the rich young ruler,
the wedding feast at Cannas, Simon and Pharisees dinner, and the home
at Bethany, to be impressed with the prominent place these methods hold
in missions. (Acts 10:24; 16:13-15; 18:2). (E) Literature and letter writing:
These records tlook permanent for as the new testament scriptures and
led the way to the vast output of printed scriptures, and later on of
tracts and other literatures, which constitute so effective and
indispensable a factor in the Missionary enterprises today 5. (F) Training of National workers:
John the Baptize began such work and our Lord made it his own greatest
ministry, as we have already seen. Paul selected and trained younger
men notably Timothy and Titus, and urged them in order to do the same.
(2Tim 2:2). This is to be regarded as the beginning missionary method,
in as much as the missionary's true aim should not be to make him
indispensable, but rather the very reverse, "by rising up nationals to take his place".
Our Lords method as a trainer was to maintain the closet connection
between class studies and the actual work the missionary who
successfully does this may be said to work by multiplication instead of
mere addition6
