Mission Briefing
A Bible hero mission for kids about saying yes to God with trust.
Hero: Mary
Virtue: Obedience
Best for: Ages 6-12
Time: 10-15 minutes
You need: paper, pencil, and a small bowl
Mission Verse
"I am the servant of the Lord. Let it be to me according to your word." – Luke 1:38
Meet Mary
Mary was young when the angel came to her.
The message was surprising and bigger than anything she expected.
Mary did not understand everything.
She had questions.
But Mary listened.
She trusted God.
Then she gave a brave yes: “I am the servant of the Lord.”
Mary shows us that obedience can begin with trust, even before we know every detail.
Obedience means listening to God and choosing the right yes.
Hero Skill: Say Yes
Obedience is not just following rules because someone is watching.
It is choosing what is right because we trust God.
Mary teaches children that a small yes can be very brave.

Each morning, choose one right yes.
Say: “God, help me say yes to what is good.”
Then look for one chance to practise.
Parent Note
Mary’s story lets children see obedience as trust, not blind performance.
It is okay to name questions. Mary had questions too.
Keep the mission focused on one concrete yes at a time.
Mission Prayer
God,
