    Missions arnt the only way. If you feel called to be a missionary than you will, but yes you will have to wait.

    What does a missionary do? they go to other nations and places to share the good news of Christ, they show others thier faith in the lord and provide them the Way to go to heaven, the Only Way: Jesus. But what about the people around you? are they saved? Do they know Jesus? many people think that the ones who need to be saved the most are those who live thousands of miles away. but what about those who live next door? God wants us to be his ambassadors. to show others the love of God. Even if its just in the simple things you do through out your day. make it so that people see you and know what a christian looks like.

    how to live a christian life? live life like Christ.

    - Spend time in His word

    - Spend time in prayer

    - Be an example; show others what a christian is

    get active with your church. start a christian club at school. join a small group or bible study. and hang out with other christians.

    There is always something you can do for another person, even if it's just an encouraging word or helping them with something they are trying to do. You can do volunteer work, if they let people who are not 18 do that. God sees and remembers the small things as much as the bigger ones.

    Don't forget, when Jesus was watching the people give their money at the temple, He said the lady who put in a few pennies put in the most, because it was all she had.

    You are missing the missions right before your very eyes! You should not hanker after the vainglory of fancy foreign missions just for the drama of it. The missions set before you are already THERE, in place in your life RIGHT NOW!

    Read the fifteenth chapter of Romans. You are offered challenges and opportunities wherever you are! there are people right there in your own life right now who need healing and witness. Everywhere and anywhere is a mission.

    Is there a soup kitchen in your area? Go serve meals, you don't need to be an adult to do that. Go bring pet food to the local animal shelter. Donate food to women's shelters, volunteer time at local charities.

    There are plenty of ways to be a good person that DON'T require going on missions to other parts of the world. Help your own people, in your own town. They need it too.

    your family's needs, your neighbors, charitable organizations near you, etc. living a christian life doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be a missionary . be a good person and live a good life. there is a saying that i heard----"charity starts at home".

    Works don't make us Christians nor do they save us. You can volunteer somewhere that helps people like a soup kitchen.

    You can witness to others online. The whole internet is your mission field, and it is ripe for harvest.

    There are plenty of people in need of help, look around you ask there is plenty of good things to do and you can find people for the missionaries to teach.

    Better to avoid this life. Choose the honest kind life instead.
