This Blog, "Missional Hands", explores what it takes to be a missionary in the 21st Century.

1 Timothy 2:8

"I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer..."

What kind of hands do you have? Are they small, calloused, tan, soft, stubby . . . ?

Well, God probably doesn’t care what our hands look like, but if we use our hands as an image of our willing service, he cares a lot!

Are you considering becoming a missionary? One of the questions you have to be asking is, “What does it take to be a missionary today and am I ready?”

This blog will be a conversation with missions staff from around the world who are uniquely qualified to talk about what it takes to be a missionary today. As I dialogue with them and share it with you through this blog, I hope that you will be challenged to think big about the Great Commission and thing smart about how you join in God’s Kingdom work.
