SINGLENESS AND MARRIAGE
Here are some key suggestions for
any young single person wanting to
give their life to missions:
1. Remind yourself that Jesus will
ultimately satisfy you ?
marriage or singleness will not.
2. If you?e convinced God has
r
you in missions, don? date
t
people who are not headed the
same way.
3. Have godly leaders hold you
accountable in your time of
singleness.
t
4. Don? let the deception of
pornography take root in your
life. Accountability is key here.
5. Read biographies of
missionaries and Christian
leaders who were single.

Heroes like David Brainerd,
Gladys Aylward, Henry Martyn,
Mary Slessor, Amy Carmichael,
and the apostle Paul help us to
see things outside of our own
time and culture.
