Ideas for Mission projects w/Kids

Do you have children in your world?  Are they hearing about missions?  Do they know what a missionary is?  They are not someone who helps a church do a program!  A missionary is someone who tells others about God!  A Missionary gives their life to tell others about Christ.  Churches today don’t seem to be teaching our children and preschoolers about missions.  The mission education is gone.  I want to encourage you to add mission education into what you do!  Do you teach Sunday School? Choir? Wednesday night? Weekday? Special events? Are you a parent? Grandparent? Aunt? Uncle? Neighbor? Here are some simple ideas you can use to do a mission project with the kids in your life.  I pray that churches will get back to doing mission education with their children and preschoolers! We are seeing evidence of the lack of missions education in with the problems in the IMB. Cooperative Program giving is down, people serving as missionaries is down.  We need to get back to what worked for many years. 

Here are some links to more ideas and curriculum you can use with your children!

Making Missions Come Alive

This article is from the Children’s Newsletter from WMU. (At the end of the second paragraph is a link to that newsletter and the full article.)

“In my own GA classroom, I look for ways to make what we are learning about in a large city or somewhere around the world relevant to the lives of the girls I teach each week. Sometimes, I’m able to do that through a craft or hands-on activity. Other times I help them apply a lesson to their own lives through role playing activities.

I recently heard from a Children in Action leader, Allison Young from FBC Morristown, Tennessee, who shared how children in her church are learning about missions work across North America. Read what Allison shared with me: Click this link to read the rest of the story…” http://www.wmu.com/index.php?q=blog/children/featured/making-missions-come-alive (Article by Heather Keller, Children’s Ministry Consultant, WMU)

I heard someone the other day say that GA’s and RA’s (Girls in Action and Royal Ambassadors) were cheesy. I really had a hard time hearing that. Those classes plus Mission Friends (for preschoolers) are wonderful and I feel they are needed. Our churches have gone away from Missions education and I feel that is part of why we have fewer missionaries. Those classes will only be as exciting as the leadership you put in place. If the leaders are not passionate about missions then they will not make the classes exciting. It’s all on the leaders. And you can’t have someone who doesn’t want to plan and prepare ahead of time. I was teaching Mission Friends when I went to Uganda for the first time with Sweet Sleep. We learned all about Uganda before I left. One thing they learned was that the children in Uganda make their own soccer balls out of plastic bags and paper. So we made our own soccer balls. Then while I was in Uganda, I took a picture of a child with a homemade soccer ball like we talked about. They were able to see it with a real Ugandan child.
They also made heart shaped pillows for the children who would be getting a bed. I took a picture of the Mission Friends working on the pillows and then made copies to give to the children who got beds. I then took a picture of the Ugandan children holding their pillows and the picture of the American children making those same pillows! It was so neat when I got back and showed the children the picture. They saw themselves in the pictures in Uganda! They were so excited about seeing themselves in the picture.
Several years later one of those preschoolers found a 20 dollar bill out in the parking lot of the church. She brought it right to me and said I want to give this to Sweet Sleep so they can give more beds to children with out beds. How wonderful was that! She had learned in Mission Friends when she was about 4 or 5 about Uganda and Sweet Sleep and when she was older she still remembered. That is what missions education is all about. So children will see the world a through God’s eyes not their own eyes or the world’s eyes.

How are you teaching your children about missions and to have a heart for missions?

What more can I do??

Today watched a documentary about Living Hope in South Africa. (You need to see this if you have not! Ask me and you can watch mine!) I went to Cape Town South Africa back in November of 2011.  I went with Sweet Sleep and we gave beds to caregivers that completed a course on parenting taught through Living Hope!  These ladies had no idea that they would be getting a bed at the end of the course.  They had to have 100% attendance to get the bed.

My time there in Cape Town was amazing as it always is when I’m in Africa!  

I remember being totally overwhelmed by the fact that there was such extreme poverty next to such beauty and wealth. Some of the homes that we were in had million dollar views! When I got back home I was getting ready to take a shower and head to bed. I walked into my closet and was stopped in my tracks! I realized that my closet and bathroom was bigger than some of the homes we were in! I don’t have a huge home by American standards but I do have a huge home compared to what we saw! Families of 7 living in what some might use as a shed in their backyard here in America. One place we were putting in a triple bunk bed. The home was as long as a twin bed and only double the width of a twin bed. The mom & caregiver was so excited that all 7 of them did not have to sleep on a love seat anymore. She said that she was able to sleep all night and without her legs hurting for the first time! WOW!!!

So why am I sharing all this? I just moved into my new home and was talking about what I was going to do about window coverings. (Which is important I don’t need the world to see into my home at night!) The comment was made I wish I had extra several thousand dollars around to take care of all the extra needs when you move into a new house. Yes I do wish that but at the same time I wish I had that extra money & time to do more in helping those in need. But I also know that I don’t need extra money…I need to use what I have. The Lord is our provider and He gives us just what we need. We are to use what he has given us to help others. So what do I do with what I have? I am still working all that out.

I do know that the FIRST thing we are to do is give 10% of our income to our church! Are you doing that? If you are a Southern Baptist that amount that you give goes to so many areas, you are helping so many more than if you gave whatever amount to one of the Southern Baptist Organizations.
Ok so I am tithing and I am giving some extra to another organization but I still want to do more. I sometimes feel I am not doing enough.

I read about a fire that broke out in the Wetlands area of Masiphumelele in Cape Town, South Africa. “According to Disaster Management they estimate between 200 – 450 homes could have been affected, the exact number will only be known a little later. According to on the ground reports there have been no fatalities. – See more at: http://www.livinghope.co.za/#sthash.K2DA76bw.dpuf” This area of Masiphumelele we visited while we were there in 2011. One of the homes got a bed. This place is a maze and they really didn’t have much of anything and now that is gone. Lord help these people.
This is the area that had the fire…

What do you do? What is your family doing? Your church? Is there more that I can do? Is there more that you can do? Is there more that our churches can do? I don’t have answers yet but I am still asking the questions and maybe one day the Lord will give me something else to do! I will continue to do what I have been doing and if I can add something to it I will.
What about you?

During the summer months, attendance at Mission Friends^® often decreases because of preschoolers’ participation in seasonal activities and because many families take vacations during this time. Remind your preschoolers’ families that Mission Friends is still going strong every week at your church.

One way to remind your preschoolers’ families about Mission Friends is to make a fun summertime invitation using child-size flip flops!

• ŸUse child-size flip flops from a discount store or craft store, or use a paper outline of flip flops. You can download and print an outline here.

• ŸWrite the invitation on a note to tie onto a strap, or write directly on the flip flops with a permanent fine-tip marker.

• ŸIf using a paper outline, write the invitation inside the outline of the flip flops.

• ŸWrite: Come for Summer Fun in Mission Friends!

• ŸInclude the church name, day, time, ages, and room number of your Mission Friends.

• ŸGive the invitation to preschoolers who are guests at VBS, or give to preschoolers at a neighborhood playground.

Back from Colorado…

I have just returned from a mission journey. These feelings caught me off guard because it was a journey to Colorado and it was only a couple of days long. I would expect this if I had just returned from Africa or China! Anyway, I just need to get this off my chest!

This past weekend I was in Colorado serving their church planters. 12 of us from Oklahoma went to take care of their children while they were attending a retreat/training. 3 of the team was a part of the food service team for the weekend. Besides the fact that it was a beautiful lodge and we got to see God’s creation while we were there, we also learned about the great need here in our own country! The need is not just in other countries! There are large numbers of people here in the US that are lost and have never heard the name of Jesus! 90% of Colorado is lost and majority have never heard the name of Jesus! That is just Colorado, I don’t know the percentage but I’m sure it’s about the same in other northern states. We except to hear about the lost in other countries but we just assume that everyone in America knows about Jesus. NOT so. We know by watching that news that our country is lost! The sad thing is that our missionary numbers are low. We don’t seem to have as many missionaries going out to share the Gospel to the lost here in the US and around the world! I truly feel that is because we have done away with mission education in our churches. We are not teaching our children about missions and what missionaries are. Every week not just once or twice a year. We must teach the children about the needs out there. God will call some of those children to the mission field! So why not get them prepared early!

We have a generation that thinks they are entitled to everything. They are not taught how to handle when someone is unfair, someone says no, things don’t work out right the first time, etc. This scares me for the future! Those children/young adults will be leading out soon and what kind of leaders will they be?

Mission education will open their eyes to how the rest of the world is living. They will see how much they have just because they live in America and how much they may have compared to others in America. More importantly they will learn that people have never heard the name of Jesus. They will learn how to share that Jesus loves them and how to share their faith with others. When children start learning to share their faith at a young age they will not be intimidated to share as an adult.

People say that the curriculum is cheesing or boring and use that as an excuse not to have mission education in their ministry. If you have the right leaders than it should not matter what the curriculum is like. They can make learning about missions fun and exciting. If they have a passion for what they are teaching it should come across to the children. Some curriculum talks about missionaries but who they are talking about are their salespeople. Teach about IMB and NAMB missionaries, Cooperative Program organizations, short-term missionaries from your church, etc.

Yes I am on a soap box because I see a sad trend that we need to change. We should get back to what we did as churches years ago! Now some of you are saying she doesn’t like change and we need to change and be with the times. NO we don’t! That is why we have the mess that we have in our world. Christians got weak and we let people tell us that we needed to be seeker friendly and we dropped education and discipleship. We started looking like the world and that is wrong! We are not to be like the world we are to be set a part from the world. Now I’m not saying shut the doors of the church to the lost. NO open them wide go out and invite them to come in. Go to them and share with them where they are and then bring them with you. Jesus didn’t say stay and invite. He said go and tell. (Matt. 28:19-20) But at the same time disciple them help them grow in their faith. Those Christians that have been in the church forever need to get outside the walls. Part of growing is serving.

Have posted this list before but I am going to add it again. Maybe this will spark ideas for you, your family and your church!

Wow time flies!

So it’s been 38 days since my last post. Wow!!! Time flies. I did not realize it had been that long. I am now in my new city and have been at the new job for a month now. My office is all set up and I’m getting settled in there. I’m still waiting on my house to sell so I’m living in a small apt while I wait. Not settled there. I didn’t bring most of my stuff because it would not fit in this apt and I didn’t want to lift it when I will have movers do all the lifting when the house does sell.
Anyway, it is a bit hard not having everything here. I still feel like I should be going home soon after a long conference or something. Which is funning because it’s just stuff. I know stuff is not important but most of my stuff comes with memories and comfort and that is what I miss. Memories of my grandparents, memories of childhood, memories of mission journeys, and fun family times. Yes the comfort of my couch and convenience of a dresser and a garage will be nice again.

So, Yes I am praying my house sells soon & I know many others are praying as well & I am so thankful for your prayers. I know The Lord has a plan and has someone who will buy my house. I’m looking forward to being able to find a new home here and get totally settled here in this new life of mine.

Of course as I type that I realize that we are never to be settled here on earth. This is not our home! We should always be seeking what the Lord has planned for us. We should not be sitting black in our comfortable routines and going through the motions. I am just as guilty as the next person. While I wait on my house to sell I need to be working on serving the Lord and praising Him for what He has done and will do in my life. I need to share His love with others and get plugged in at a new church.

It’s been different going to a church and most everyone not knowing who you are. I can slip in and slip out and no one would miss me. I will confess the first time I kinda enjoyed it but now I do miss not knowing people at church. So when the ice is gone it’s my job to step up and get involved. I need to be the church member that as a staff person I loved! The person who walked up to the preschool minister (or any minister) and said where do you need me to serve? Not wait for someone to call me and ask me.

Are you the church member that your church staff loves? 20% of church members are serving in the church. That means they are most liking serving in multiple places. Don’t be a part of the 80% that is slipping in and slipping out each Sunday. Don’t wait for the staff to call you, you call them and find your place of service! You might need to try a few areas out but I’m pretty sure you have an idea where the Lord wants you to be serving. Now go pick up that phone. 😃

Leave for Uganda in 9 days!

Wow I can’t believe it is almost time to leave. I first started talking about this journey a little over a year ago. It has been so fun seeing this team of 16 come together. We are from Oklahoma, Texas, & Tennessee! We have been talking and planning through conference calls and emails so it will be great to get everyone together in one place.
I am overwhelmed right now with so much going on that I need to focus on Uganda. I would like to ask that those of you who read this to pray that I do focus and that everything that needs to get done before we leave gets done.

As you are praying here are some more things to pray about…

Pray for our team. Thank God for each and every person He has brought to us. Pray that our individual gifts and talents would be formed into one heart, one spirit and one mind in Christ Jesus. Ask God to provide for our collective need of finances, safety in travel and time spent away from home. Praise God for His creativity in the body and how we are united in service to Him. Pray for patience, humility and servant hearts as we journey together. Let us not grow weary of doing good or encouraging one another. Ask for the Holy Spirit to guide us and be available to do God’s work.

Pray for the children of the country we are traveling to. Pray for the kids we will come to know. Pray that God would be opening their hearts and minds to the knowledge of Him.

Pray for them to grow into Godly men and women, able to withstand the hardships they will face. Pray for God to bless them. Pray for them to recognize God as their Heavenly Father. Pray for in-country families to adopt them. Pray that above all else they would come to know the Lord and His love for them. Pray that they would understand that they matter to us and to God!

Pray for the country. Ask God to work in the hearts of the leaders. Pray for church leaders, government officials, lawmakers, policemen, etc. Pray against corruption. Pray that the eyes of the people would be opened to the suffering of their own countrymen and that God would change their attitudes towards His precious children. Praise God for the in-country Christians and missionaries, and pray for them to have a great impact for the Kingdom. Ask God to make this country one which glorifies Him. Pray for new churches and existing churches to grow. Pray for families in-country to remain devoted to the Lord. Pray against the effects of poverty, drugs, alcohol, abuse and corruption.

Pray for the orphanages we will visit. Pray for teachers and caregivers to come to know the Lord and for them to be supportive of our work. Ask God to give us opportunities to share about Him. Pray for the translators that will be joining us everyday, that those who don’t know the Lord will come to know Him through their translations. Pray for the community and the local church to become more involved with caring for the kids. Pray for the kids who sleep there every night. Pray for God’s love to overcome any language barriers.

Pray for Sweet Sleep. Pray for your team leaders. Pray for Jen Gash and the Sweet Sleep staff. Ask God to grant them discernment. Ask God to bless their ministry. Thank God for the people that have partnered with us, and with Sweet Sleep, to provide for our financial needs. Thank God for the partners that give in other ways and thank God for your prayer partners. Pray for the local and international business partners of Sweet Sleep, including churches. Ask God for Sweet Sleep’s ministry to grow. Thank God for the successes and accomplishments of Sweet Sleep. Ask God to continue to touch the lives of orphans through Sweet Sleep. Pray for continued funding and future teams.

Pray for our trip. Pray for the health and safety of our team members. Pray for every encounter we have with the people in-country to be fruitful and glorify God. Pray that the drivers would transport us safely while in-country. Pray for emotional and mental preparation. Pray for creativity and patience for any obstacles we may face. Pray for the local church, translators and anyone else we work with to work together to fulfill God’s purposes. Pray for the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Pray for insight to our kids’ needs and feelings. Pray for strength to sustain us. Pray against any spiritual warfare we may encounter. Pray that ultimately God’s will would be done. Thank God for the opportunities He has given us to be used by Him.

Post Trip
Thank God for His faithfulness and protection. Thank God for the relationships that were built on this trip. Praise God for the work He has accomplished. Thank Him for the refining work He has begun in you. Ask God for opportunities to share your story with others. Ask God to embolden you to share the Gospel here at home and to live with purpose. Continue to pray for the country and its orphans. Ask God to heal any brokenness you experienced on this trip. Ask God to show you opportunities for missions work in your own city and country.
