Fran, I totally agree with you. I am praying that God will help us as leaders to prepare our students hearts for missions. My greatest desire is that they will begin to notice needs around them, even if it is just one student that they may go to school with that they are noticing needs help with something as simple as their homework. I know that the best way to get them noticing things is to get them into the field and cause them to realize that there are people all over our area’s that are in great need of help.

I am so bad when it comes to promoting mission based events that it seems like my kids miss it before it even gets here, and once it the day does arrive for us to go and serve none of my kids show up. My desire is to see all of them in the field actively serving in some capacity. But my struggle is preparing them and getting them excited to go and do it. I am trying to keep it from seeming like a chore, because I know they do enough of that at home. How can I strategize and get my students excited to do missions in our community? I want my students to be excited about going and doing something as simple as yard work for our neighbors. What have y’all found to be effective in preparing your kids for local missions?

With the things going on globally and the Christians in persecuted areas around the middle east, I’d like to get my students to be less self-centered and get praying about God’s outpouring and how they can reach out. I think a start like this, locally, can get them thinking more about the people that need us to reach them and will probably inspire them to think about missions. There is so much to do, so many people to reach locally and outside the US and it is in our hands to teach our students to become part of this global revival at their young age.
