As a missionary, you will be sent out to convert people to the Kingdom of God. As a missionary, your focus is on others and how they can be saved.
As a missionary, you will be working at home with your family and friends. You will be teaching children, teenagers, and adults about Jesus and how to find salvation.
Home ministry is important because it gets people involved in a positive way with their community. Many people are turned on by hearing about Jesus and seeing His love demonstrated.
Many people feel awkward saying or doing prayers so that they can be reminded of Him. Being able to minister at home makes it more comfortable for them to do so.
This article will talk about how to be a missionary at home, where you can begin your next journey towards kingdom salvation.

Encourage them to attend church
Assistant ministers are called assistants because they help out with church, but actually they are a part of the clergymen or women who lead the congregation in worship.
As assistant ministers, your primary job is to encourage the members of the congregation to come to church and worship with you. You can do this by being friendly and helpful toward the members of the congregation, teaching them stuff about religion, and encouraging them to participate in worship.
To be a good helper, you must believe in what you do and be strong enough to reject some ideas that don’t feel right to you. You must also give your all no matter how tired or worn out you are because there is always something new to work on or because God wants you to help people!
To be a good evangelist, you need to get your beliefs into shape. You must be willing to change your minds about things so that you can agree with others about religion and what they should do in life.
Bring the gospel into conversations
When you arrive at home, start a conversation about God with your friends and family. Have fun talking about what He has done for you, and how He is working in your lives.
God created each person to talk to others, but not many do it at home. You can make a huge difference in the lives of others by bringing the gospel to family and friends.
Home missionary duty can be annoying, but it must be done. Join the military or an NGO and devote yourself to spreading the word of God. You will never be bored as there are always people needing to be converted!
A great way to start your home mission work is by going door-to-door. If you have time before work starts, go out and do some evangelism or visit a church group to share the gospel with other people.
Share religious content online
As outlined in the introduction, home evangelism is a key part of being a missionary at home. While online evangelism is becoming more common, it still can be challenging.
If you are a citizen living in your home country, you can share Christian content online without fear of being reported to law. However, abroad, this is not the case.
Many countries use digital rights protections to determine who can post content online and who can view it. If you are an overseas resident living in your own country, you are at least protected by your country’s laws and rights protections.
But what about those who live elsewhere? What about those who cannot access legal internet services but still want to be a God-fearing person and share the gospel with others!
This article will discuss ways to be a foreign missionary at home, using your own computer or phone as your mission field.
Give to charities that align with your beliefs
Choosing and participating in charity campaigns that align with your beliefs can mean the world to you. Choosing a charity that you believe in and that benefits the community in which you live is stellar.
As a missionary, you may be called to work at a local church or institute as part of your mission. Thus, contributing money to a charity supported by the church you attend is also beneficial.
When you shop at certain stores and/or participate in certain activities among others, they likely have a cause behind their business practices and actions. For example, many retailers donate their proceeds to charitable causes when they do well enough on their own.

Talk to your family about their spiritual interests
Your family is very important to you, right? Then you should talk to them about what they interest them in and how they can connect with the mission field at home.
Your family can be a source of support and education when you are abroad as a missionary. They know what they like and what they enjoy about church, what church they are comfortable with and how they feel about social issues.
By introducing your family to your faith community at home, you will gain new experiences and knowledge of God’s love, which may help your family feel better connected to you. You can also schedule time with your faith community as a couple or individually.
It is helpful to go with a group if you are soloing alone.

As the leader of your home team, you can play a key role in recruiting members for your faith. Building relationships is key to being a missionary at home, and in your community.
Creating opportunities to evangelize together is also a way to disciple-proof your community by sharing the good news with others. By offering yourself as a Christian witness, you’re setting off signs of God’s love within your surrounding community.
It’s important to note that being a missionary at home does not require you to go away on foreign missions. You can be anywhere you want to be- at home! As a home missionary, you’ll receive support from friends, family, and the community at large. You’ll also be raising awareness of God’s kingdom among your neighbors, friends, and colleagues.
Home missions are an easy way to expose people to the gospel and help them grow in their faith.
Participate in or organize a public event related to religion
Being a missionary at home means more than just listening and watching. You must participate in organized events and donate your time to help spread the faith.
These can be event planning nights or groups you can join to help with outreach efforts such as missions trips or community projects.
It does not have to be paid work, you can contribute your time without being paid.
By helping out in this way, you will demonstrate your faith and contribute to society at large, giving your neighbors the opportunity to meet an overseas ministry leader.
You may also organize public events for the church such as baptisms, weddings, or funeral services. Being present for these events means wearing a uniform and demonstrating faith through attendance.
