Lessons
Matthew 28:19 (NIV) states, "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit," widely referred to as the Great Commission. This series emphasizes this directive given by Jesus just before He ascended to Heaven, clarifying that it is our responsibility as the Church to reach those who are lost, as missions are important to God.
The series aims to help children understand that it's our duty to spread Jesus' love globally, a mission that could take them anywhere from their neighborhood to different parts of the world. By accompanying Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey, kids will get a firsthand look at the struggles and rewards faced by missionaries, providing an excellent introduction to the idea of missions for the next generation.
