If missions is about bringing the worship of God to all people, then as missionaries we are bearers and bestowers of the worship of God to all people. This means that the worship of God must be in us to bring to others.

In Jonah 2, we read Jonah’s prayer of repentance to God, showing a renewal in Jonah’s heart as he gives in to God’s Word and God’s presence, which he previously ran from in chapter 1. When God stops him in the mouth of a fish, Jonah sees God’s right to judge, His reach to save, and His regard to be worshipped. Here we see that God saves sinners and transforms them into worshippers of Him.
