WHAT IS A MISSIONARY?
If you break the word down to “mission” and “-ary,” it becomes easy to understand. The suffix “-ary” means “connected to, contributing to, for the purpose of”. Simply put, these men and women have dedicated their lives to furthering Missions. They may live here in the U.S., they may live overseas, but wherever they are, they are there for the purpose of their Mission! They raise support, as missionaries, to be able to live and work in the areas they are working in.
