THE CONTENT OF YOUR CHRISTIAN MESSAGE
It is of utmost importance that all who propose to go to a foreign land as representatives of the Christian Church should have a clear idea of the content of the Christian faith. Describe in your own words your basic Christian convictions, covering the following points: your idea of God and his relation to our world, the redemptive work of Christ, what Jesus Christ means to you personally, the place of prayer in your Christian experience, the meaning of the Bible, the significance of the Church, the Christian's responsibility to individuals and society. Feel free to include other convictions that are significant in your religious thought and experience.
