Even though we say God can use anyone in ACTION, there are a few basic requirements:
1.The ability to feed yourself on the Word of God (Ephesians 6:10-18, 2 Timothy 3:14-16).
2.The desire to rejoice in the Sovereignty of God in all circumstances (Daniel 3:17, 1 Timothy 6:15, Revelation 6:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
3.Basic evangelism skills with a clear grasp and understanding of the gospel (2 Timothy 4:5, Romans 1:16, 1 Corinthians 15:1-8, Philemon 1:6, John 14:6).
4.Discipleship skills - (2 Timothy 2:2, 2 Peter 3:18).
5.An understanding of the biblical guidance (leading) of God to missions (Luke 9:57- 62, Matthew 28:18-20).
6.A life marked by the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-25).
7.Relationship skills that allow for one to gently confront others, and also to receive correction without being offended (Galatians 6:1-2, Matthew 18:15, Proverbs 15:31-32).
8.Team skills that allow one to function on a team and to share and help carry the responsibilities in ministry (Hebrews 10:24-25, 1 Corinthians 12:24b-27).
9.A servant attitude (2 Corinthians 4:5; Philippians 2:7).
10.Willingness to adapt to a different culture and to understand that what is personally familiar and comfortable does not always work elsewhere in the world (1 Corinthians 9:1-23).
