"We student missionaries came to the conclusion that our role as witnesses and missionaries is to be like the sower in the parable (see Matthew 13:3-8). We are simply witnesses--people who tell what they have heard and seen and give their personal testimony. We plant seeds. It then becomes the work of the Holy Spirit to water those seeds and nurture them. That is probably the most important thing I learned as a student missionary: one doesn't have to become officially a missionary to be a missionary. One can sing the song of Jesus anywhere, anytime."
