From a Christian perspective, a missionary is anyone on a mission to share the love of God (especially shown through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ) with other people.  Some people associate the term “missionary” with a person sharing God’s love in another culture.  This is not required by the Bible.

Worldlink uses the terms native missionary, indigenous missionary, and local missionary interchangeably to help define our international partners.  They are missionaries to the land in which they live.
