Questions For Personal Evaluation
<!– @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –>
May God take the following questions to help us evaluate our lives and ministry. It is sad to me that some missionaries go to churches expecting them to give and support their ministry yet they do not support their home church. Men say they are going to the mission field to train up leaders to take over a church but have never discipled anyone to take over a Sunday School class. I am more burdened than ever that we prepare and train for what God has for us. How have you bettered prepared yourself this week for the mission field?
21. Do you reflect Christ’s love for the church?
22. Do you give faithfully to your church?
23. Are you being discipled?
24. Are you helping anyone grow in the Lord?
25. Are you teachable?
26. How well do you get along with people? All people?
27. Are you winning the lost?
28. Are you building relationships?
29. Are you teaching a Sunday School class?
30. Is your ministry growing?
Remember in Prayer
This Monday, February 1st, Stacey and I along with Camry, will be at Egleston at 6:00 a.m. for a flexible bronchoscopy. This is outpatient and will entail a tube going down her throat and seeing what is going on with her lungs. Her lung function has been down the last several months.
I know I have asked you all to pray much lately. Thank you for lifting us up once again.

Personal Evaluation For Missions – Part Two
Here are questions 11-20 on your personal evaluation. Some of the negative attitudes on the field can be clearly seen while living in the states. Take question #19 for example. If you are picking eating in America, how well are you going to do in a foreign culture? The attitude, “I won’t offend them by not eating it if they don’t offend me by not asking!” is not the spiritual attitude a missionary should have. How would the apostle Paul have responded?
11. Do you seek to serve others?
12. Do you find yourself envious of others and their position of leadership?
13. How do you handle difficult circumstances?
14. How well do you adapt to new circumstances?
15. Are you a content person?
16. How do you view people at WalMart from other cultures?
17. Are you sensitive to other cultures and their differences?
18. Are you committed to learning another language?
19. How picky is your eating style?
20. Are you active in your local church?

The next few entries will help to personally evaluate where we are in the ministry and see if it has prepared us for the next step. Some questions may seem elementary, but trust me, they are very important.
1. Do you know that you have eternal life through Jesus Christ?
2. Do you have a growing love for God?
3. Do you exhibit the fruit of the Spirit?
4. Are you responsive to God’s guidance?
5. Do you get easily discouraged in the Christian faith?
6. Do you evidence obedience and submission?
7. Do you have a consistent time in prayer and the Word?
8. Are you committed to world evangelism?
9. Can others see you growing in the grace and knowledge of Christ?
10. Do you put others above yourself?
“Wanted – A Man.”
Wanted, a man who is larger than his calling, who considers it a low estimate of his occupation to value it merely as a means of getting a living. Wanted, a man who sees self-development, education and culture, discipline and drill, character and manhood, in his occupation. A thousand pulpits vacant in a single religious denomination, a thousand preachers standing idle in the market place, while a thousand church committees scour the land for men to fill those same vacant pulpits, and scour in vain, is a sufficient indication, in one direction at least, of the largeness of the opportunities of the age, and also of the crying need of good men.
The whole world is looking for such a man. Although there are millions out of employment, yet it is almost impossible to find just the right man in almost any department of life, and yet everywhere we see the advertisement: “Wanted: A Man.”
This is from “Pushing to the Front” by Orison Swett Marden. I pray that you would be such a man for the cause of Jesus Christ.
