<p>What is a missionary? I once heard a little kid answer question by saying,
“Missionaries are people who live in Africa and teach people about Jesus
and how to brush their teeth.” I chuckled at how the stereotypes
had pervaded this child’s perception. But as I thought about it more,
I began to realize that I myself didn’t really know what it meant
to be a missionary! Of course I knew that they didn’t all live in Africa,
but the question still remained: What does it really mean to be a missionary? </p>
<p>MOVE answered this question for us.
From the moment we exited the Belize City airport
and piled our supplies into the vehicles, I knew we were
in for a genuine experience. As our hair was flying everywhere,
day turned quickly into dusk as we jumbled and bumped along the “highway”.
Hours later, we popped into a clearing in the bush where we had our first
glimpse of Missionary Outreach and Voluntary Evangelism training school. Before long
we were all tucked under our covers,
falling asleep to the singing of a million night creatures.</p>
<p>Our days were filled with stories of adventures with God.
We worked along side with real missionaries who did much
more than just teach kids about brushing their teeth.
They knew what it was like to work hard for what seems
like nothing in return, to follow God’s lead even when there was
no money, no food, and no set road to follow. They knew what it
was like to plead with God for the souls of the people they were working for.
They knew how to laugh at trials and inconvenience. They knew how to
have nothing and yet everything. We watched them give of themselves,
cook for us, translate for our seminars, cut ceiling panels, dig out
rocks from the field and build a new house. Always with a cheerful smile,
they patiently showed us how to work hard and make do with what we had. What struck me most
about these missionaries in Belize was their love for people
and desire for them to know Jesus. </p>
<p>The last day of our trip we heard about a man who had a hurt eye.
We weren’t exactly sure what the complication entailed, but since
Dr. Quion was with us, we felt more comfortable. One of the missionaries,
Keren, asked if we could squeeze in a visit to this man before we left
for the airport. It took lots of driving around, asking for directions,
and prayer to finally locate the family, but once we arrived at the correct
location, we were eager to do what we could to solve the problem. As we
entered the small shack, none of us were prepared for what we were about
to see. After conversing with the man’s son-in-law, Dr. Quion asked for
the bandage to be removed from the old man’s face. My jaw dropped as I
realized how dire this situation really was! As the bandage peeled off,
we realized that the man had no eye! Cancer had eaten out most of the right
side of his face, leaving a softball-sized cavity. We realized very quickly,
that there was nothing, nothing we could do. That is, nothing except pray.
Though it seemed so very insignificant, we prayed anyways. As our voices lifted
in song to the Great Physician who alone can heal, the man’s moans of pain quieted.
He rested without a noise or complaint. I know he couldn’t
understand our English words, but through our singing, he felt God’s
hand on him, and he was at peace.</p>
<p>
Being a missionary doesn’t mean you can solve the worlds hunger issues,
provide a home for all the world’s orphans, have all the solutions, or know
all the answers. So what is a missionary? There’s one thing I learned on this
trip, and that was this: being a missionary is holding God’s hand and doing whatever
He tells you to do, even if its just whispering a simple prayer or singing a heartfelt song.
