Kids On Mission

Thanksgiving Dinner

Have you ever heard of the country of Bhutan? When you say it, it sounds like boo-TAHN. Look it up on a map, and you will find it close to India, Bangladesh and Nepal—way over in the eastern part (the right side of the map). Most of the people are Buddhist, not Christian.

There are many people from Bhutan who have moved to the United States. About 300 live near Richmond, VA, and lot live in Texas. Maybe there are Bhutanese (boo-TAH-nees) people living in your city too.

Christians are going to invite some of these Bhutanese people to their houses to have Thanksgiving dinner with their families. They will eat turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy. The people from Bhutan like chilies in their food so maybe they will slip some hot chilies in the dressing!

Pray for the families that invite these Bhutanese people into their homes. Pray that they will explain that Thanksgiving is a holiday when we give thanks to God for His blessings. Pray for the people from Bhutan that they will want to learn more about God.

Guess what? I’m praying for you too—praying you will have a GREAT Thanksgiving and that you will say “Thank You” to God lots of times for all the wonderful things He is doing for you.

Prayer Requests from Missionary Kids

Pray that the International School will be able to start their campus in Kuala Lumpur. MA, age 12 (Southeast Asian peoples)

My family has just moved to a new village in Niger. Already the Lord has brought me many new friends and I love to run up and down the paths in our village. Today we had church in our front yard and many people came to hear us sing and tell stories from the Bible. Please pray that they might come to understand the love of Jesus. NOAH, age 3 (Sub-Saharan African peoples)

Who's missing? Whose mission?

You play a key role in teaching children about God's love for children who live in Peru, Ghana, India or China, about the people He uses to show His love and about His commission to all who love Him to tell His story around the world. During 2009, we invite you to join us as we focus on "Who's Missing? Whose Mission?" More than 1.5 billion people are still missing out on the opportunity to hear the Gospel. Do your children know they have an important role in helping to reach them?
