Missionaries… called by God to preach* and perform what they teach anchored upon Scriptures, exemplifying Christ in good works’ earnestness souls they compassionately win, as hearts by grace they reach labouring with mercy and truth, praying while building lives, despite afflictions sacrificing, taking up own cross, conquering individual selfishness presenting Gospel of redemption; to repent, fellow men beseech while offering eternal security as gift from the Saviour’s loving kindness.
*1Corinthians 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. July 25, 2021 1st place, "A Brian Strand Rime Me" Poetry Writing Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 8/26/2021.

Actually, a fine compilation of all Christian faith principles in one rhyming poem. Not easy to do. Very comprehensive. You do your beliefs justice here, for instance, try and find another rhyme with the word "beseech" in it. Seriously though, congratulations on your placement and win.
