The Missionary as a Son

This book "The Missionary as a Son" is a lecture delivered by Theodore W. Andoseh to missionary candidates during a session of the School of Knowing and Serving God, the missionary training arm of Christian Missionary Fellowship International.

In this book, the author explains who a missionary son is and how to become one. The Lord Jesus Christ is the model missionary son. The one preoccupation of the Lord Jesus Christ as a son of God and as a son of man was to complete the work of his Father, the one who sent him and thus bring glory to him. By this God was setting forth the blueprint for His missionary enterprise.

God will expect all missionaries to begin as sons and go for him as sons: sons of God and sons of men. The pathway to belonging to a man is to fully belong to God. You cannot relate accurately to a man of God unless you know how God speaks and relates to him. You cannot become the son of a person you do not admire. Without admiration, you do not see what is glorious in a man. By a natural process, we put on those whom we admire. Ministry is the fruit of a relationship with God. Where there spiritual union and communion with God there will be fruit.

We send out this book with a deep cry that God will visit all missionaries and all missionaries candidates and perform a spiritual heart surgery to produce missionary sons after the model of Christ.
