Q: Can I become a missionary if I do not have much education?

A: Yes. I’m a missionary even though I am dyslexic.

Answer from Paul who has served as a missionary in Mozambique for 12 years.
I am dyslexic and I can’t spell to save a life. (Praise God for computers with spell checkers!) I speak Portuguese badly and can’t write it. My main ministry is church planting and Bible school. I love the local people and I know they love me in return. Often a person who has it "all" misses being one with the people.

Our African Director has the same problem and is being used greatly by the Lord in Kenya. If God is leading you to become a missionary, do not be afraid to go. He will guide and lead. If he can use a donkey, he can use me.

A: Yes. Your relationship with the Lord means more than ability.

Answer from Moisés in Mexico.
Some believe that God selects those that are qualified. However, I think He qualifies those he selects. No matter what disabilities we have -- all of us have them -- God can use us. Education is much more important for first world people. We in Latin America think what is most important is God's direction and your relationship with him no matter what ability or education you have.
