Missionary, Me?

by Matthew Skirton

Christians are boring and going to church is dull. God (if He exists) is irrelevant to me and the plans I have for my life. He surely does not call people to serve Him on the mission field today! Or so I thought … this is my story, a journey of surprising discoveries. It is a story of travel and love, crocodiles and soldiers, life and death, ships and illness, blessing and provision, ugly angels and the KGB, Dracula’s castle and hoopoes, holy kisses and miracles, answered prayers and a girl and a voice and a call. For the last two decades Matthew Skirton has served as a missionary with OM in Eastern Europe. He lives in Moldova with his wife Helen, five children and assorted animals.

Matthew Skirton decided to go on a short-term mission trip to try and impress a girl at his university...twenty-two years later, he reflects on his life as an 'accidental' missionary. An interesting and readable warts-and-all account of his life. It would have benefited from slightly stricter editing since there was a bit of repetition, but overall, it's a good read.

Awesome book

Great book and an easy read. The stories shared will have you laughing, amazed, on the edge of your seat as well as praising God.

This book is so inspirational! I absolutely loved this! Such an amazing story of what God can do in someone’s life. Such a powerful message.

Such an encouraging book to hear a personal account of what God has done, also a great reminder that when things aren’t going the way you think they should be, that it doesn’t mean God has forgotten you or that he won’t use it for good.
