Nothing's Too Hard for God

Be Prepared

Matthew 28:19-20

Go and make disciples of every nation. Baptizing them

in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy

Spirit. Go and teach them to observe all I’ve

commanded and I’ll be with you till the end of the age.

Index card game

Instructions:

Have each kid write down reasons (excuses) that

people use for not coming to church. Three or more

each child depending on the size of the class.

Put the cards in a bowl and mix them up.

Line the kids up in two lines facing each other.

Give one line of kids a card face down.

The kids with the cards have to read the reason to the

person across from them and in the least amount of

time as possible the kid listening has to say why that

isn’t a good reason. Write down who answers quickest

to slowest by using 1-2-3. Whoever has the least

amount of numbers at the end wins.. Then swap the

lines so everyone gets a turn.

The bible instructs us to GO and make disciples. We

must be prepared for trials.

ASK: what are things that could get in the way of

people coming to Jesus/church?

-time

-people

-being scared

Read John 1:6-9

-We are to be witnesses for Jesus. He is coming back

and time is short. We are to constantly tell about Him.

Tie a piece of yarn around the kids arm as a reminder

to witness. These pieces of yarn will start

conversations at school, at home, or wherever. It

makes it easier to bring up Jesus in situations where it

may never come up.

Ask if there is anything else they need to know about

witnessing. Explain that if someone asks a question

they don’t know.. The correct way to answer is to say “I

don’t know. But I will find out and let you know”.

Instead of making up a answer that may not be

correct.

*Decorate boxes.

Read John 1:6-9 during the week and write down

what it means to you. We will talk about it next

week in class. WITNESS!!! When people ask why

that string is tied on your arm answer them.

Don’t be afraid!! Write Matthew 28:19-20 in your

journal every day. Pray every day. Read your

bible every day. And write down when you’re

given chances to witness and what comes out of

it. See you next week!!

* My kids are bringing shoe boxes to put prayer requests in as a project.. so today we're going to start wrapping them. if you need prayer just email me at the email address on the lizzs blog home page and we will put your request in one of the boxes.. nothing more powerful than a bunch of kids praying for you.
