The SG Notebook

We have one child (high schooler) in our homeschool, which makes it a bit difficult to engage in certain types of school projects. As you probably already know, one of the most blessed tasks a parent/teacher can have is one of leading children in a mission activity. I’m sure it’s been your experience, as it has been mine, that the kids in your home or class get quite excited about it all. So, since it works better for a group rather than an individual, I introduced this idea to my Sunday school class of third and fourth graders yesterday. They were excited and happy about it, as I knew they would be. So we’re going to fill an Action Pack to send to Sudan. If you want more info about this for your homeschool or Sunday school, go the the Voice of the Martyrs site to learn more.

If you want help in thinking of other things you could do, our “Child of Courage” page addresses this and has a link to an article in the archives at VOM’s Kids of Courage section.

Have fun with whatever you may decide to do. One thing we need to remember: Doing any kind of project for the benefit of other children who are needy has a wealth of “benefits” which redound to our kids. The term which describes these benefits may be an old one, but it’s still alive and well today: It’s called character building. Surely this is worth as much, if not more, than all the math, English, science, etc. that we may teach them.

For His Glory,
Maxine
