National/Native missionaries are a viable and effective means to carry out the Great Commission in their native land because of the following;
- Nationals are culturally conditioned and sensitive to reaching their own people.
- Nationals don’t need to spend years in studying a language in order to communicate
- Nationals, being born and raised in their country in which they ministering are physically and psychologically adjusted to both climate and culture-thus making more effective in mission work.
- Nationals, being a natural born citizen, have rights and privileges that might not be extended to a foreigner.
- Nationals, unlike western missionaries, do not need to go home on furlough every few years for rest and to raise additional support.
- Nationals are economically conditioned to live on $50 to $80 a month in many parts of the world. By contrast, the average cost for sending and sustaining a foreign missionary family of four is $35,000-$50,000 a year.
- Most of all, foreign missionaries are prone to danger and target of “ kidnap for ransom” by the terrorist. So, why not support the national/native missions.
