MISSIONARY MOTIVATION

From where do those who minister cross cultural come?  Which leads to another question.  Does a stereotypically missionary exist?  The motivation to missions often comes from duty or desire.  That is either I want to become involved in missions or I feel I must become a missionary to pay God a debt I owe to him.  

HOW WOULD RESPOND TO THESE STATEMENTS

Compass

NEWS states the compass.  North, East, West and South help us stay oriented to time and space.  The news of the ages tends to disorient us.  We hear of calamities contrasted with joyful events.  Making sense of this may lead to a mental head spin.  Exiting the nauseous head spin may cause us to one to regurgitate thus forcint one to face in a single direction.  Ah stability! in the middle of nausea, if that is rational? Will the stability be settled and perpetuated?  From when comes a settle stable mind set?  Where does one find a moral compass?  Our creator made directions,  Is it possible we should look to Him for stability?
