How Do You Have A Church Missionary Support Program For Children?
When churches run a mission program, whether it is handled locally or at a global level, it is important to involve the church’s children. Running a missionary support program for children is one way to accomplish the goal. Read mission stories to the children’s department. Share with them what the missionaries are doing for others in the overseas or inner city programs. Invite missionaries on furlough to visit the children’s departments and share stories with the children. Check and see if there are any retired missionaries in your church that could also share their stories. Have letter writing parties once the children have heard the stories you read and/or listened to the missionaries. Let them have first hand involvement with missionaries currently in the field. Pick a project to support a missionary that the children are corresponding with. Ask the missionary to suggest one. Run a fundraiser for the project and forward it to the mission or missionaries where so the need can be met
