1 Leader s Guide Four missions experiences on introducing people to God s Word Location: Ivory Coast (Côte d Ivoire), Africa Focus verse: Those who hear the word of God and keep it are blessed! Luke 11:28 (HCSB) Overall message: When we mention Africa, what s the first image that pops into your head? If you re like most of us, it probably wasn t large urban population. In Abidjan, Côte d Ivoire (Ivory Coast), the McAfees are surrounded by an urban population exceeding 4 million. That also means they re surrounded by opportunities to tell people about the timeless truths of the Bible! Kids On Mission can learn that planting churches begins with planting God s Word in the hearts of people who know little about Him. Before you begin: This resource is a collection of experiences to plug your kids into global missions. We hope you will take the ideas included here and expand your children s view of missions and their role in God s kingdom. This is a product of IMB, 3806 Monument Ave., Richmond, VA For comments or questions, contact Kids On Mission at IMB by calling (800) Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture referenced is from the Holman Christian Standard Bible, Copyright 2009 by Holman Bible Publishers. All rights reserved. Used by permission.
2 Experience 1 Prepare From the DVD-ROM or kidsonmission.org, prepare to show the The World in Skittles video. Download and print the Africa map and the Tell Em! photos. Bring a bulk pack of Skittles candies or other color-coated candy pieces. (Note: check with parents regarding food allergies any time you teach with food items.) Provide one paper plate per child. Introduction Direct kids to stand and group themselves by age. When they have done so, direct kids to group themselves by hair length (long, short, medium). Challenge kids to find at least four other ways to group themselves. (Tie shoes vs. slip-ons, boys and girls, eye color, pet owners vs. no pets, etc.) Explain that missionaries serve all kinds of people groups, but those groups have one important thing in common the need to hear, learn and obey God s Word! A sweet explanation Show kids The World in Skittles video. Give everyone a paper plate and a handful of coated candies. Guide kids to calculate and set aside one-third of the candies. Ask them to recall what that number represents (people in the world who have never heard the gospel). Guide kids to form a rectangle with their candy pieces. Remind kids about the 10/40 window they saw in the video a rough geographical zone with the highest concentration of people who have never heard about Jesus. continued on next page
3 Experience 1 continued from previous page A country near the window Display the Africa map and point to Côte d Ivoire (pronounced coat-dee-vwahr), sometimes called the Ivory Coast. Comment that Côte d Ivoire is directly adjacent to the 10/40 window. Show kids the Tell Em! photos. Explain that Mike and Heather McAfee are church planters in the city of Abidjan. To start churches in Côte d Ivoire, they start at the very beginning telling people how God created the world and how He has always cared for His people. Pray time Prompt kids to sort their candies into groups of the same color. For each group of candies, prompt kids to name a group of people they can pray for, such as missionaries serving in the 10/40 window, the McAfee family, or the people of Côte d Ivoire. Invite a volunteer to pray for each group. Ask God to give people all over the world a desire to know what s in His Word!
4 Experience 2 Prepare From the DVD-ROM or kidsonmission.org, prepare to show the Life in the Ivory Coast video. Download and print the Tell Em focus verse. Download and print the Elephant soccer facts. Cut the strips apart. Roll the strips tightly. Insert each strip into a balloon, then inflate and tie. (To shorten the time required for the activity, put two strips in each balloon.) Have a push pin handy. Recap The McAfees are urban church planters in Côte d Ivoire. They use Bible storying to help people understand how God has been at work in the world since creation. Elephant silly soccer Tell kids that the Côte d Ivoire soccer (football) team is named the Elephants. Clear space for an active game. Guide kids to use chairs to mark two soccer goals at each end of your field. Form teams for a silly game of soccer: instead of using their feet, players will kick the balloons with elephant trunks formed by extending their arms and clasping their hands together. Referee for safety. When a team scores a goal, allow a team member to burst the balloon with a push pin and read the fact inside. Repeat until all the balloons have been popped. Sharing the story with Ivorians Play the Life in the Ivory Coast video. Guide kids to identify elements of Ivorian life that are very different from their own. Prompt kids to notice that the McAfees teach the Bible through storying (telling Bible stories) because many Ivorians cannot read. Ask: If you could not use a printed Bible to share God s Word with someone, what stories would you choose to tell? Why? continued on next page
5 Experience 2 continued from previous page Display the focus verse and encourage kids to read it aloud with you. Explain that no matter whether the gospel is shared in print or in stories, it can still change lives! Prayer time Invite kids to suggest ways they can pray for the McAfees and the people in their city. Incorporate kids suggestions into a prayer of your own.
6 Experience 3 Prepare From the DVD-ROM or kidsonmission.org, prepare to show or replay the Life in the Ivory Coast video. Download and print the Tell Em focus verse. Print a copy of Storytelling pictures for each child. Provide scissors, a hole punch, and hinged notebook rings or jumbo paper clips. Bring pencils, scratch paper and a timer. Recap The McAfees are urban church planters in Côte d Ivoire. They use Bible storying to help people understand how God has been at work in the world since creation. Bible story brainstorm Form two teams. Enlist one person on each team to be the recorder. Give the recorder scratch paper and a pencil. Set your timer for two minutes. Each team should huddle, confer, and make a list of as many Bible stories as they can before time expires. As Team A reads its list, Team B should scratch off duplicate answers and vice versa. The team with the most stories remaining on its list wins the game. Option for non-readers: Lead teams to huddle, choose a familiar Bible story, and act it out together. Challenge the opposing team to guess the story. Comment that Bible stories kids may have heard since they were tiny may be completely unfamiliar to people in some parts of the world. From creation to Christ If kids have already seen the Life in the Ivory Coast video, lead them to name facts or scenes they remember from the first showing. When you replay the video, permit kids to signal thumbs up when they see the things they remembered. continued on next page
7 Experience 3 continued from previous page If the video is new to your group, challenge kids to notice how the McAfees use storying to teach people Bible stories from God s creation of the world to Jesus life, death, and resurrection. Be a griot! Tell kids that a griot is a traditional West African storyteller. Comment that kids can continue the griot tradition by telling Bible stories to their friends. Provide Storytelling pictures, scissors, a hole punch, and notebook rings or paper clips. Guide kids to cut the pictures apart, punch holes where indicated, and thread the pictures onto the ring or clip. Help kids identify the story each picture represents. Call attention to the Bible reference that will help them recall the details of each story. Encourage kids to clip the storytelling pictures to gear bags, backpacks, or purses. Suggest that when others notice the pictures, kids can share a great story from God s Word! Prayer time Pray for kids by name. Ask God to help kids read, understand, and love His Word so they can share it with others.
8 Experience 4 Prepare From the DVD-ROM or kidsonmission.org, prepare to show or replay The World in Skittles video. Download and print the Tell Em focus verse. Download and print the Tell Em! photos. Bring napkins and small cookies, candy pieces, or another countable snack. (Note: check with parents regarding food allergies any time you teach with food items.) Mark Leviticus 27:30 in your Bible. Recap The McAfees are urban church planters in Côte d Ivoire. They use Bible storying to help people understand how God has been at work in the world since creation. The world needs to know Play or replay The World in Skittles video. Comment that the population of Cote d Ivoire is about 23 million, or according to the mathematics of the video, about 1 1/3 Skittles. Show the Tell Em! photos. Explain or lead kids to recall how the McAfees share the gospel with the people of Côte d Ivoire. Giving makes it happen Review the focus verse with kids. Challenge them to say it from memory. Explain that faithful giving makes it possible for missionaries like the McAfees to teach people about God, Jesus and the Bible. Distribute napkins and 10 snack items per person. Direct kids to set aside one of the snacks. Tell them that the tenth part of a person s income is called a tithe, and the Bible teaches God s people to give tithes to His work regularly. Read, or invite a volunteer to read Leviticus 27:30 aloud. Direct kids to set aside one more snack. Comment that kids can give offerings in addition to their tithes to help missionaries. Tell kids about special giving opportunities at your church (such as the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering ). continued on next page
9 Experience 4 continued from previous page Observe that, even with two snack items set aside, kids still have plenty to munch on! In the same way, God has promised there will be enough left over to provide for the needs of people who give to His work. Gather the snacks that were set aside and allow kids to enjoy their treats or encourage them to take them home to enjoy and share later. Prayer time Invite volunteers to pray that generous givers support missionaries all over the world.

16 Tell Em! Focus verse Those who hear the Word of God and keep it are blessed! Luke 11:28 (HCSB)
17 Elephant soccer facts Most Ivorians speak two or more languages. Ivorian food is very spicy. People eat it with their fingers. Ivorians don t usually make eye contact when they speak. Côte d Ivoire is the world s largest producer of cocoa (chocolate)! Griots are traditional African storytellers. Sometimes they use music or drums to tell a story. Because it is near the Equator, Côte d Ivoire is warm all year. You can see lions, waterbucks (large antelopes), and hippos at the Comoe National Park in the northeast part of the country. Traditional Ivorian dancers can jump, twirl, and do acrobatics on stilts!

19 Parent Letter Dear Parents, When we mention Africa, what s the first image that pops into your head? If you re like most of us, it probably wasn t large urban population. In Abidjan, Côte d Ivoire (Ivory Coast), the McAfees are surrounded by an urban population exceeding 4 million. That also means they re surrounded by opportunities to tell people about the timeless truths of the Bible! We re helping Kids On Mission discover that to plant a church, the first thing you do is plant God s Word in the hearts of people who know little about Him. For a quick taste of Ivorian life, buy a small bunch of plantains at a local market. Slice and fry in peanut oil for a side dish. Or do a side-by-side tasting with conventional bananas. Before dinner, use a simple program like Google Translate to find your dinner ingredients in French, the national language of Côte d Ivoire. This month s focus verse is Luke 11:28: Those who hear the word of God and keep it are blessed! Label three disposable cups Hear It, Learn It, and Keep It. Take turns bouncing a table tennis ball toward the cups. If you or your child lands a shot, describe an opportunity your family has to hear God s Word, a creative way to learn more about the Bible, or one way your family can obey the Bible. Check out the resources at kidsonmission.org. Watch the Tell Em! video clips with your child. Invite him to share his learning experiences with you. Kids learn to love the Bible from grown-ups who love the Bible! Spend regular time reading Bible stories with your child. Tell or reenact your favorite Bible story or explore a less familiar passage as a family. (Know much about Jehoshapat? Check out 2 Chronicles 20) Finally, pray together for missionaries worldwide who are changing lives by sharing the story of Jesus. We re praying that your Kid On Mission will follow their example!
