Missionaries are hard for preschoolers to understand. Teach them about the wonderful job missionaries do through games and activities. Great ideas can be found here.
Missionaries are ordinary people who do extraordinary things. It is an important job to talk to people about Jesus, and to bring them closer to God so they may feel his power in their lives. The ideas below may help you when teaching a lesson about missionaries. Feel free to use these ideas to supplement your current curriculum or to make your own lesson. Story SuggestionThe story of Jonah is an excellent example of why we must obey and spread the word of God. Children find this story easy to relate to and to understand. God wanted Jonah to do something, and he really didn’t want to, but he did it any way. Children face that situation on a daily basis from their parents, teachers, and from God.
