Ten Ways to Help your Children Love Missions
|
Do you want to encourage your children toward missions? Some of us have missionary stories built into our curriculum, but many of us don't. I can tell you that if you only did number 2, on this list, your child would have a different understanding of missions and love for people and desire to please God. There are no better adventure stories than these! And don't forget to treat yourself, too!
If I had it to do over, I would have required my kids to read 6 of these a year. I do read my 7 year old grandson the Kids of Courage newsletter from Voice of the Martyrs and he can't get enough of it. Teach them to love missions when they are young so they will be equipped to accomplish the Great Commission that Christ gave to us. Matthew 28:19-20
Here is the list, but the complete article from the Desiring God blog is the link below.
