Maybe they didn't start out that way. Hm? Maybe they had this wishy-washy (but God given) idea to go preach somewhere, with or without a passion behind it, and they said "ok God, you gave me this idea, I don't know if you're all-behind it, but I'll try it." and then they jumped into oblivion with little or no super-Christian godliness...
And then God chuckled and took them for the ride of their lives!
Maybe missionaries became amazing people after they jumped, not before.
My advice? Find your interests, listen closely to the holy spirit, and find something to do. Then sit on it for at least a month, pray like crazy, bring in an army of friends to affirm you, then jump.
2 Caveats: (making sure I don't offend people, basically, and clarifying some things)
1 Missionary people can also be called with violent amazing passion right off the bat. Good for them, but I think God might get more glory out of a confused but faithful follower.
2 Missionary people are not the only amazing people. You can be called to be a 'sender' as most often is reffered. I think of it more epically like 'raising the next generation of missionaries' or 'dedicating your life to being eaten alive by Gods fire', or 'putting tools into the hands of Christians so that they can be eaten alive" things like that. Or in war analogies, sender people could be artillery marshals (making literature to send out), or grease monkeys who work on tanks and things (making planes for...whatever that plane-flying mission group is called).
