As he writes to his disciple Timothy, the apostle Paul uses the metaphors of soldiers, Olympic runners, and farmers as examples to the Christian walk and ministry. One common denominator with these examples is that to be successful, an investment of time and resources in preparing for the task at hand is required. With this diligence, each expects to accomplish their task successfully. These same timeless examples can be applied as models to you as you seek to get more effectively engaged in cross-cultural international mission work. If you expect to finish the task successfully, you need to prepare to achieve that success.
