Kingdom Kids, inspired by guest chefs, pray for the missionaries...

This past month, the Kingdom Kids have been doing a unit on missions with guest chefs Big Mama and Chef Gordon Bleu. Their key verse is John 4:34, “My food, says Jesus is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.” Besides one teaching the children that “A little bit of butter and a little bit of sugar makes everything taste better” and the other one being French, they want the children to learn the lesson of the THUMB. Each letter stands for a different area of missions: Tribal, Hindu, Unreached, Muslim and Buddhist. The children watch as the chefs prepare a marvelous meal out of a mysterious oven and what they can do to be missionaries themselves. One Sunday, they were asked to offer up the missionaries around the world in prayer. The following is what they have prayed for:

“Please help the missionaries to have water and food and cars to get around. And teach that God is special.” Paige, Kindergarten.
“That the missionaries have the right tools to spread the word of God!” Annika.
“That the people would stop worshipping idols and start worshiping God. We should give the missionaries $100,000!” Teresia, 1st grade

“That we should give them the Bible because they would know about God.” Kaylee, 1st grade.
“That the people who are serving do not get hurt.” Tanner, 2nd Grade.
“Keep up the good work.” Calvin, 3rd grade.
“That the missionaries can show them the right God to pray to.” Avery
“Help the missionaries learn the languages.” Rebecca, 2nd Grade.
“God, throw the bible on the other side of the world so the people can read it.” Preston, Kindergarten
“That the people would be able to get a Bible and read it.” Joshua.
“That the missionaries will be healthy, strong and happy about spreading the word of God.” Emma
“I would like them to learn that cows are only animals. It’s silly to pray to cows instead of God.”
“That we get to go help the kids in New Orleans.” Brady, 2nd grade.
“That the people will not believe all kinds of weird things that aren’t true.” Abby, 3rd Grade.
“The missionaries would tell them about Jesus Christ and they would believe.” Bethany, 3rd Grade.
Amen!
