It seems to me--and maybe this is way off--that the whole concept of a missionary call has to be rejected by cessationists if they would be consistent. The call is clearly a non-canonical, divine communication.

However, in my context, cessationist missionaries are generally not consistent. They accept the reality of a missionary call (without insisting on it). They also work in contexts where people become believers (usually mbb's) as a result of dreams, visions, and epiphanies, without any discomfort.
