White Unto Harvest: Planting and Watering
Mission work can take one to strange, exciting, and dangerous places. It can bring him into contact with literally all kinds of people (such stories would fill a book). There are a variety of methods one might use. One might go as a planter or a waterer. He may go as a planter and, with time, do the work of a waterer.

Paul exhorts, “As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and builded up in Him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving” (Colossians 2:6-7).
The Simple Gospel: The Gospel of Christ – God’s Power to Save
Faith in Jesus as the Son of God will motivate a person to find and do the righteousness of God found in the gospel of Christ. There is no need to go looking in any other source. The answers are to be found in the good news of Jesus.
