How to Use tHese Cards

After presenting the mission report or at the end of Sabbath School, give the children the corresponding mission card. Remind them to pray for the child/children featured on the card during the week.

The following week, hold up the previous week’s card and ask the children what they remember about that child or their story.

Remind children that there are three things they can do to help others learn about God:

1 Tell them about Jesus

2Pray for those who are telling others about Jesus

3Give their mission offerings so that those we can’t tell have a chance to learn about Jesus.

Encourage the children to collect all 12 cards each quarter.

Happy Birthday, Mission!

Hongra



Hongra [HONG-rah] loved listening to music on the radio. But her grandmother taught her that it’s better to sing music that honors God. Pray that Hongra’s love for music will help her friends want to know about Jesus.

Most of the believers in Mongolia are young people. Part of this quarter’s Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will help provide a youth training center in Mongolia.


Thank you

Mook loves attending the only Adventist school in Mongolia. Pray that many more children will discover God’s love through this new Adventist school.

JAPAN

Ken, Kaycee, Mark



Ken, Jaycee, and Mark can’t attend a Christian school. So they’ve made their school their mission field and tell everyone they can about Jesus. Pray that their friends and their teachers will want to know more about Jesus.

Japan isn’t a Christian nation, and very few Adventists live there.

Yana’s school holds classes and sporting events on Sabbath, so Yana doesn’t go. Pray that Yana’s faithfulness to God will help her friends and teachers want to know about Jesus.

There are just a few Adventist schools in Japan, but many children from non-Christian homes attend. Our mission offerings help these students learn to love and honor God.

Quincy loves music and is learning to play the piano and violin. Pray that he will always use his musical gifts to help others want to follow Jesus.

Ah Tan’s family worshipped an idol until her mother learned about Jesus. Praise God that Ah Tan’s family worships Jesus now.

In China it is difficult for children to share their faith. But Lin shares her love for Jesus in quiet ways. Pray that Christian children everywhere will share their faith in God with others.

Show the children in your Sabbath School class that the boys and girls they hear about in mission stories are real children. These boys and girls are missionaries in their own way because they share God’s love with their friends and family.

These cards will remind the children in your Sabbath School class to pray for the boys and girls they hear about in the mission report. Your children’s prayers will help these children to be brave, kind, helpful, and loving examples so that others might see Jesus in them. Teach children to pray for themselves and others that they can be true missionaries for God.
