Feature Friday - Missions & Geography Ideas

This week's feature is @ "I'm a Homeschool Mom":

Jen shares about the geography curriculum she is using as well as giving some great ideas for learning about different countries. Her ideas could be incorporated into geography class or into Sunday School/Children's Church when teaching about missions.

Missions Board

Every couple months in Children's Church I pick a country for the kids to learn about. We pray for the missionaries from that country that our church supports and write letters to them. I have been teaching the kids how to pray for missionaries.

It is awesome to listen to the kids pray for the missionaries. I wish that the missionaries could hear them pray. There is nothing like the simple faith of a child.  I usually have a volunteer each week come up and pray for the missionary. When I forget to do this the kids remind me. If I have the kids pray at other times during class they always pray for the missionary even when I haven't mentioned it.  It is neat to see them get excited and involved.
