Missionary Stories For Kids

Teaching children about missions is important. Tonight I found several great websites that offer missions education for children. These were links I found on the Kids page from Wycliffe Bible translators.

Just for fun, I asked my 8 year old Son to check out these sites and give me a few comments for this post. I’ve put his thoughts in quotes new to each link below.

wycliffe-kids-web-missionary-stories

Wycliffe’s Kids Web  – An interactive environment with games and animated characters. This site is packed with information and missionary stories for children, but in an engaging format. My son said, “The suitcase and phone talking were a little weird. The fun facts were FUN. The things kids can do is cool.”

sim-kids-mission-stories-for-children

SIM Kids Website – More quality missionary lessons for kids. The interface is a little less advanced, but the map interface gives a great geographic context to the missions infoformation. My son said, ”Check out the stories.”

 

kidstuff-mission-stories

New Tribes Mission’s Kidstuff
 – Exciting missionary story for kids with coloring pages or activities included. These would be great sunday school resources. My son said, ”You should read the story God at the controls. Really, you should really read it.”

 

kidzplace-mission-education

Kidz Place from the North American Mission Board – A little less in-depth than the other sites, but still a handy resource. This site deals with doing missions where we live by telling others about Jesus. My son said, ”It’s pretty cool, read Out There.”

CURE International is launching a children’s site that, along with the teaching materials, will help children gain a more CHrist-like worldview through cultural education, an explanation of disabilities and spiritual participation. It will emphasize gratitude and generosity as charateristics of the Great Command and Great Commission.
The nationals in 10 countries developing countries help write and edit the cultural material so it is accurate and educational.

Thanks for this great list of online resources. I have included a number of them on my Squidoo lens: Missionary Stories for Kids as an alternative for parents if they don’t want to buy missionary biographies for their kids.
