The unusual missionary
John 4:29
This woman was an outcast according to the Jew.
A Samaritan, and a woman with a sinful past.
Yet she became a great missionary.
1. She left behind her water jar, v28.
Every missionary has to leave something behind. You cannot carry everything and be effective.
2. She went back to her home town, v28. Missionary work is not all far-off work.
3. She invited the people on a journey of discovery, v29. People don’t want the answer they want to be invited to find the answer themselves.
4. The invitation was based upon her own story which convinced her enough it was worth pursuing, v29.
5. Her testimony brought belief, v39. Faith can be birthed on the hearing of someone else’s experience not necessarily their own, Jesus didn’t tell them everything they had done, but they believed nonetheless because of the woman.
Everyone a missionary.
