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.

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.
