People often ask us, “How do you prepare to be a missionary?” Of course, the answer depends very much on the person's stage of life, background, spiritual history, and so on. It's important to remember that a “missionary” can be many things … an engineer, agricultural expert, accountant, administrator, physics teacher, artist, photographer … rather than being limited to what often comes to mind—a pastor, Bible translator, nurse or doctor.
One good site to check for information is askamissionary.com, where there are hundreds of questions answered such as Why do many missionaries join agencies? and Should I skip a degree and go into missions now? A sister site is http://www.preparingtogo.com, where there is are video interviews with missionaries, suggestions for finding missionary mentors and other resources.
You can also check How to Prepare to Become a Missionary on the World Christian Missionary Resources site, where there are many useful comments as well as the main article.
