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.
