At FBC, our Mission Friends have fun learning about God and missionaries, and about being friends! The Mission Friends Leaders use pictures, stories, crafts, games, and blocks to illustrate to the children how missionaries labor to spread the word of God. The children especially love creating crafts! They decorate cookies, make collages, and even build farms, cities, and other places where missionaries might travel. Another fun activity is puppet making. Many missionaries use puppets as a tool in their ministry. The children are encouraged to create great puppets that could be used by a missionary during their travels. During snack time, the children listen to adventurous stories about how God is working in their world. The children learn that God gives them wonderful things like food, trees, animals, and of course each other!. The children are encouraged to thank God for all that he gives them. One of the highlights of this ministry is their support for a local Children's Home. These Missions Friends really enjoy making Christmas stockings, Easter baskets, and other crafts for other children who are in need.
