CONCERN FOR A NATION

Truth to Teach (Source)

Acts 1:8 ‘You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria and

to the ends of the earth.’

1 Corinthians 3:5b God wants us to express the love of Jesus to the nations as he
assigns to each his task.

Isaiah 56:7 ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.’

 We express our concern for the nations by sending practical aid, people and by

praying.

Way to Work (Means)

Before this lesson, decide on a nation which could be the focus of this lesson. With the help

of parents, conduct a fund-raising activity eg a cake stall, a plant sale, a cards sale or write
letters to a missionary in that country.

1. Review the previous lessons.

2. Inform the children of the nation, showing its position on a map, the capital city,
population, famous landmarks, needs of the nation, etc.

3. Explain that we are going to love and serve that nation today by either of the above
activities.
