Bible Verses for Missionaries
You left the familiar to bring the good news to people who have not heard it, often far from family, comfort, and safety. It is costly obedience. These verses are for the missionary who needs courage, perseverance, and the nearness of the One who sent them.
What God says over missionaries
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Go and make disciples; Jesus is with you always, to the end.
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
You shall receive power and be His witnesses to the ends of the earth.
“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
Here am I; send me; the heart of everyone who answers the call.
“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!”
How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the gospel of peace.
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
Be strong and courageous; the Lord is with you wherever you go.
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;”
Troubled but not distressed, persecuted but not forsaken.
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
God shall supply all your need according to His riches.
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
His word will not return void but accomplishes what He sends it to do.
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
Do not grow weary; you will reap in due season if you faint not.
“Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.”
Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all people.
Where this all leads
You carry a message that is really a Person. Jesus not only sends you, He goes with you and goes ahead of you, already at work in hearts you have not met. He left heaven on the first and greatest mission, so that people from every nation could come home. Your labor in Him is never wasted.

A prayer for missionaries
Lord of the harvest, thank You for sending me. Give me boldness to speak and love that opens hearts. Provide for my needs, protect my family, and let Your word bear fruit. When I am lonely or afraid, be near. Use my life to bring the nations to You. In Jesus name, amen.
