Tip for Mission

THIS IS THE CONTINUATION OF THE BOTTOM BLOG Dont get me wrong, excitement in missions are good. But what im trying to say is that sometimes excitements can distract us from our mission goal. If the jokes and stories are enjoyable when you are in the mission field and still focused on your mission goal, go for it. But what i am trying to say is that whatever you do, always have in mind the goal of your mission while on the mission ground. I was talking about excitements about new members of your team. I want to clarify something with this. Before you go to mission, it is always good to know the person that you are going with. This will help you know how to work with your teammate. If you don't know much about him or her, you will be struggling a little bit because you're still hesitating about how you will appraoch him or her. Some of the expereince that i had in the mission field when i went to thailand were really tough because i did not know much about my team except one or two. With this, i started to take initiative to get to know them. For something like this, not knowing your teammate and go to the mission field, you have to be really open and not hesitating asking questions. But remember this, do not ask questions that are too personal that don't have any relation to your mission or your teamwork. Be precise, but also respect your team's personal property. When it comes to mission, if you are introverted person, you have to leave that kind of personality and work with your teammate. If you are extroverted person like me, you have to leave that free talking and be sensitive about your teammates and the people that you are doing ministry to them. Again, dont get me wrong on this one. I am not trying to say leave your introverted so when you go to mission field, you have to be extroverted. NO. I am saying that when you go to mission field, when people are appraoching you, asking you to go have fun with them, don't say no. Go along with them, and be yourself. And when you are exrtroverted, keep using your gift of speaking but don't be too open because that can scare away people. Be sensitive. Speaking of that one, I am very aware of this and trying to be careful and be a good teammate to my mission team. God wants you to be yourself, but be also open and flexible with other people that wants to be part of your life. When you go out to mission field, there is no such thing as "this is my zone and no one enters it." NO. The zone that you will have in the mission ground or field is God's zone. He is putting you to work. Be a good sportsmanship.
