“The Missionary Life” – Volume 13

Skit Package 1: “What Is A Missionary?” (Matthew 28: 19, 20)

The children learn just what a missionary is and what he does when he’s home on furlough. Tina’s confusion provides a hilarious background for learning what a missionary really does.

Skit Package 2: “The Missionary’s Job” (James 1: 27)

While packing the missionary boxes, the characters learn some of the interesting and varied jobs that a missionary performs on the mission field.

Skit Package 3: “The Call To The Mission Field” (Matthew 16: 24, 25)

Clem’s parents consider that they may be called to the mission field. Prayer and fasting are explained here as well as what a “call from God” really means.

Skit Package 4: “Where Shall I Go?” (Matthew 5: 14-16)

There are so many ways a person who lives the missionary life can be used. Where should Clem and her family serve is the big question answered in this skit.

Skit Package 5: “The Support Team” (2 Thessalonians 3: 1, 2)

Harvey, Zelda, Clem, and Pastor Rufus all become part of Clem’s support team in the areas of fund raising, newsletter writing, and prayer.

Skit Package 6: “The Full Armor Of God” (Ephesians 6: 10-17)

No one can be expected to fight the spiritual battles and win in his own power. We need the armor of God to protect us. Clem is given various pieces of it at her going away party.

Skit Package 7: “Be A Home Missionary” (Acts 1: 8; Luke 10: 2)

Through Tina’s determination to become a missionary too, the children learn that you don’t have to go far away to be a missionary. You can have a “Missionary Perspective” and become a missionary where ever there are people who have not heard about Jesus.

Skit Package 8: “Caring For The Needs Of Others” (James 1: 27; Matthew 25: 31-46)

The fact that people can become very concerned about the spiritual needs of people but neglect their physical needs, is something that missionaries must understand. Jesus is our example in feeding the hungry and healing the sick.

Skit Package 9: “We’re All Missionaries” (Matt. 10:20; John 3:16; Rom. 3:23; 5:8; Rev. 3:20; John 1:12; Matt. 28:19; 1Cor. 3:6)

Tina is triumphant when she finally is able to share her faith with her little friend. The steps involved in leading a person to Christ are taught to the children as they watch Tina.
