According to Rom 10:14-15 "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!". God commands us, the church, the body of Christ, to go take the gospel to all the world. God reasons with us, that unless somebody is sent to do exactly that, give the gospel message, it just won't happen.
Amazing that God says the missionary's feet are "beautiful" in his sight. That means that God is pleased with people who give up their comfortable life "back home" to go to foreign country, learn a foreign culture and language, and to reach the lost for Christ. When you give financial donations to a man of God that is committed and commissioned to do the work of a missionary, you are fulfilling this divine command, and God sees you as also "being beautiful". Your church should be doing this actively and intensely. If they are not, you should find another church. But you can start by getting a prayer card of a missionary and daily say a short prayer for their work. (Download Missionaries David and Tule Cox's Prayer Card and pray for us.) Also you can be part of the sending of missionaries by sending money to a missionary actively involved in door-to-door witnessing and church planting. The gospel is spread around the world by live dedcated people with their "feet on the ground" in a foreign country presenting the gospel to the unsaved. This is real missions.
