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
Meet Abraham
God called Abraham—who was then called Abram—to leave his country, his people and his father’s household and go to a land God would show him.
God also gave Abraham promises. He would make him into a great nation, bless him and bless all peoples through him.
Abraham did not know every detail of the journey, but he knew who had called him. So he obeyed and went.
Biblical faith is not moving forward on a guess. It is trusting God and responding to what He has made clear, even when you cannot see every detail.
Your Mission Today: Pack for the Journey
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 you do not know yet or feel 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.
- Pray about it
- Tell the truth
- Apologise
- Ask a trusted adult for help
- Complete the responsibility you already know is right
Talk About It
Ages 6-8: What did God ask Abraham to do?
Ages 9-10: What did Abraham know about God, even though he did not know where he was going?
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 keep trusting and obeying God.
Parent Note
Abraham responded to a clear command from God. Help your child understand that every strong feeling or idea is not automatically a message from God. Faithful choices should agree with Scripture and can be tested through prayer, wisdom and guidance from trusted adults.
Keep the application small: an apology, chore, new class, friendship difficulty or brave conversation. The aim is not dramatic action—it is trusting God enough to do the next safe and clearly right thing.
Mission Prayer
God, thank You that You are trustworthy. Help me listen to Your Word, trust Your promises and obey what You have made clear. When I cannot see every detail, show me the next safe and right step. Amen.
