How to Use tHese Cards

After presenting the mission report or at the end of Sabbath School, give the children the corresponding mission card. Remind them to pray for the child/children featured on the card during the week.

The following week, hold up the previous week’s card and ask the children what they remember about that child or their story.

Remind children that there are three things they can do to help others learn about God:

1 Tell them about Jesus

2Pray for those who are telling others about Jesus

3Give their mission offerings so that those we can’t tell have a chance to learn about Jesus.

Encourage the children to collect all 12 cards each quarter.

Johana’s family had just moved to a new city, and she was lonely. She asked God for a special friend, and He sent Sara, who had also prayed for a best friend. The girls know that God answered their prayers.

The Czech Republic has about one Adventist for every 1,333 people. Many people in the Czech Republic don’t believe in God and don’t know that Jesus loves them.

Daniel was unhappy at school. Some kids bullied other children, threatened them, and took their lunch money. Daniel’s parents enrolled him in the Adventist school, where Daniel quickly made new friends.

Adventist schools in the Czech Republic have lots of non-Adventist students. The teachers try to teach children and their families about God’s love.

evelina and Janet



Evelina and Janet are best friends. Janet was glad when Evelina invited her to church. The girls love Sabbath School, but sometimes the little apartment where they meet is too full, and the children must meet outside.

Part of this quarter’s Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will help Evelina and Janet’s congregation build a church. The children’s offering will help provide a room for children, with chairs, tables, and learning aids.

Show the children in your Sabbath School class that the boys and girls they hear about in mission stories are real children. These boys and girls are missionaries in their own way because they share God’s love with their friends and family.

These cards will remind the children in your Sabbath School class to pray for the boys and girls they hear about in the mission report. Your children’s prayers will help these children to be brave, kind, helpful, and loving examples so that others might see Jesus in them. Teach children to pray for themselves and others that they can be true missionaries for God.
