A missionary is someone who has had a profound experience of Jesus Christ and who feels called to share Christ in a extra-ordinary way. It is a person who feels the need to be conformed more and more to Christ in order to be Christ to others. To be a bearer of the Good News that Jesus Christ proclaimed, as well as to bring about either the first knowledge of Christ to the ignorant, or to deepen the already present relationship with Christ to the whole world, either in other countries, the jungle, or in your very state, town and even own home.
