Missionary Life

Called to Serve

  1. A phrase describing being formally assigned to serve a mission — the mission call itself opens with the words "you are hereby called to serve."

Because the words come straight from the mission call, "called to serve" has become shorthand for the whole rite of passage of being sent out on a mission.
