All were missionaries

the one who didn’t become a missionary became a traitor
John Phillips in his commentary Exploring Colossians & Philemon shares some wonderful truths for you to think about today.
The early church was a missionary church.
Almost every book in the New Testament was written by a foreign missionary.
Every epistle in the New Testament addressed to an individual was addressed to the convert of a foreign missionary.
Every epistle addressed to a church was addressed to a foreign mission church.
All of the apostles, except one, became a missionary; the one who didn’t become a missionary became a traitor.
The disciples were first called “Christians” in a foreign land.
Honor the Work Already Done
Write It Before You Need It
A Heart That Makes the Gospel the Priority
Discipline That Restores, Not Crushes
Leaders of Leaders, Not Just Leaders
Teach Him by Your Example
He Already Knows Enough to Begin
Ask What He Is Dealing With
Let Them Think and Let Them Fail
True discipleship is more than a lesson from a book.
