Be Informed!

Read widely on mission topics and language-related subjects. Subscribe to a missions magazine. Keep an eye on what is happening in the world and in missions.

Read missionary biographies to learn from men and women who have been where you want to go. Consider starting with John Wycliffe, Jim Elliot and Cameron Townsend.

Go to www.amazon.com to find these and other great Bible translation biographies. From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya is also an excellent biographical journey through the history of missions.
