5th and 6th Grade Class at Brookhaven

On Wednesday Night, we were privileged to speak to the 5th and 6th Grade class at Brookhaven Wesleyan Church. Our main focus for the evening was to share the many hats a missionary wears each and every day in the service of God overseas. We talked about such things as being a teacher, a student, an encourager, a Team builder, and especially a practicing Christian. We did this through many examples and games that the kids played.



Most of the pictures that you are seeing show one of the games that we played with the students. The game’s focus is to help the kids understand what it is to be in a different culture where you cannot speak the language and you seem to have people working against you. Imagine drawing a simple house with someone when you cannot speak to them and they are working solely to prevent you from drawing the house. It was a great exercise.


The final part of the night was a highlight for us. After we had finished sharing and the questions had run dry, Wes Munsell one of the leaders of the group, showed us a catalogue of shirts that the class would be selling for us. The proceeds of the sale would go to meet the faith promise goal that the class had pledged. It was great to see these students getting excited about their faith promise and the missionaries that they were supporting. One student continually repeated you are “one of us…one of us….” and that is exactly how we felt. Thank you, 5th and 6th grade, for joining in God’s Great Commission.
