Missionaries Poem by SEGUN RASAKI

They come in various shapes, sizes, ages, genders, and skin colors.
They are from all nationalities, races and denominations.
They come with different books, pamphlets, and other literature.
They toil to build shelters for the homeless, they provide food for the hungry, they cloth the naked, they give care and provide hope for the sick, they visit those in prisons, they provide water for those thirsty.
They come to people at different times as they work round the clock, they go any length, travel miles, sometimes they cross seas, they go cities to cities, sometimes they go from countries to countries, and continents to continents.

They go places with messages of faith, hope, love, salvation, atonement, reconciliation, repentance, forgiveness.
They represent meekness, humility, perseverance, persistence, and sometimes they face and suffer persecutions.
They on occasions suffer perilousness just to deliver good news to all.
They carry good news, they profess good news, and mean goodness.

They shall be called children of most high.
They shall fly and soar like eagles, they shall win souls and their own souls shall be guided by the good Lord.
They shall have goodness and mercy following them, as they may lose all but shall gain all hereafter.
They are missionaries, they are messengers of the Savior who also sacrificed all for all.
