Mission Briefing
A Bible hero mission for kids about trusting God enough to take the next step.
Hero: Abraham
Virtue: Faith
Best for: Ages 6-12
Time: 10-15 minutes
You need: small bag, 3 objects, paper, and pencil
Mission Verse
"Go from your country… to the land I will show you." – Genesis 12:1
Meet Abraham
God told Abraham to go.
Abraham did not get a full map.
He did not know every turn in the road.
He only knew God was calling him forward.
So Abraham packed up and went.
That first step mattered.
Faith did not mean Abraham knew everything.
Faith meant he trusted God enough to move.
Faith means taking the next step with God, even before you know the whole map.
Hero Skill: Take The Next Step
Children often want the whole plan before they move.
Abraham shows them that God can lead one step at a time.
The mission is to practise trust in a small, concrete way.
Your Mission Today: Pack Your Tent
You will pack a tiny faith bag and choose one next step.
What You Need
- Small bag
- 3 small objects
- Paper
- Pencil
Step 1: Pack Three Reminders
Place three objects in the bag. Let each object mean something.
- God is with me
- I can take one step
- I do not need the whole map
Step 2: Name The Unknown
Write one thing your child does not know yet or feels unsure about.
Step 3: Choose One Step
Ask: “What is one faithful step I can take today?” Write it and put it in the bag.
Talk About It
Ages 6-8: What did God ask Abraham to do?
Ages 9-10: Would it be hard to go without the whole map?
Ages 11-12: What helps you trust God when you do not know what comes next?
Faith Practice For This Week
Each day, hold the bag and say: “God can lead my next step.”
Choose one small step of trust.
Faith grows as we walk.
Parent Note
Abraham’s story helps children who feel anxious about unknowns.
Keep the application small: a new class, apology, chore, friendship, or brave conversation.
The aim is trustful movement, not big dramatic change.
Mission Prayer
God,
help me trust you like Abraham.
Show me the next step.
Help me walk with you even when I do not know the whole map.
Amen.
