All the Children of the World – Making Much of Missions in the Classroom
Location: FH 5
Why the nations? This session will not only address the need to teach our young people missions at an early age, but also to establish the motivation behind an “all nations” heart-beat. By piquing interest in your students of God’s global mission, you are better able to establish the priority of His glory among all peoples of the earth. When we, as influencers in the classroom, grasp that God’s desire is to be known and glorified among all nations of the earth, we have attached ourselves to a magnificent thought and an obligation to shape our teachings according to our findings. Practical suggestions are given in how to make much of missions in the lives of children. All the Children of the World will encourage us to see the world through the lens of an all-inclusive kaleidoscope of ethnic groups, languages, and cultures and to incorporate it into our classrooms.
