Is it true? No.

Maybe.

Maybe you’re not called to leave your life in your home country behind to live overseas and learn a new language, or even leave your previous life behind and work as a volunteer to support those who do go. It is a hard life though it can be rewarding. But every Christian is called to be part of the spreading of God’s Kingdom, whether through prayer, financial support or moral or logistical support. Jesus addressed his Great Commission to all his followers. However, there are many more who are called to go, who hang back and talk themselves out of it.

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20
