Lost meaning of missions/missionary

l served on a missionary of christian doctors and dentists am not one myself but our goal was Christ be preached.we would go to villages that could not be accessed by car or otherwise to give free medical and dental care to the people.funds were from our own pockets.we would preach the gospel while patients were being treated am talking about people who cannot afford paracetamol or panadol.Because we ourselves didnt have any source of funding we would partner with bible believing churches in those areas to be the ones to disciple those that gave their lives to christ.Given that people have limited resources together we can send missionaries that may not have the resources to mission but are available and ready to work.Many times l was called to organize missions in places l would hunt for money to go to the places to do spiritual mapping and identify the needs of the peple at least AMONTH BEFORE THE MISSION.We would pray and fast a week beffore we would hold an overnight pray most of the people that were to be part of the mision team would have to attend.these were weekend missions where we would go friday and return sunday after service with one of the hosting pastor one of us would prepare a sermon and thousands gave their lives to Christ bcoz of the love between us and also shown to the people God showed himself we saw people being heald and delivered from demonic oppression.What am l trying to say?effective mission work is team work to send those that are willing to go,but some only want to go bcoz they have funded but cannot do the we need to be able to clearly separate the roles.Danyne
