This article will attempt to identify and describe the uniqueness of the missional spirituality, and consider the theological foundations that will support a missionary early on to practice healthy spirituality. God is the first to have done mission work. After God the Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to this world, Christ sent his people to the ends of the earth to continue the mission (John 20:21). Therefore, we can view mission work as continuing the work Christ did on earth. In this sense, a missionary is God’s solution to fulfilling mission work. A missionary is God’s instrument. For them, “the Holy Spirit’s calling” is the calling to bear witness to the Gospel in every nation as an ambassador of God. Among the many junctions in cross-cultural missions, the missionaries themselves are the most important point of connection. So why is spirituality important for a missionary? Although there are many factors why missionaries have to halt their mission work, the most important factor lies in their depletion of spiritual strength. As a result, we need a fundamental understanding in and training for a missionary’s spirituality. We can also relate this to the demand by missionaries for the election of a mission moratorium. The cause of this demand can be a visual association to the spirituality of missionaries. In conclusion, a healthy missionary’s work cannot be obtained outside of a theologically healthy spirituality. It is within this context that this paper begins to consider the necessity of a missionary’s spirituality to be supported by a more systematic practice of spiritual training for missions. It is in this study that we find the unique character of the missional spirituality by the example set by Christ: an other-centeredness. Jesus’ other-centeredness is a discipline that missionaries should pursue for their spirituality. In addition, we can look to the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Jesus Creed, and the Priesthood of All Believers for the development of a theological foundation for a missional spirituality. After the Trinity becomes a subject of missions, and becomes a source of power for missions, it becomes a mission’s purpose. A missional life with, in, and for a neighbor manifest through the Incarnation. In addition, mission is a relationship of live. It nurtures a relationship of love between God and human. This was not just the ministry of the early church but also of the scattered leaders who went to the nations.
