Raising Children to Love Missions

Send us Fan MailAs parents, we have a unique role in shaping our children's worldview and values, and one aspect that shouldn't be overlooked is instilling a love for missions. Today, I had the pleasure of discussing this important topic with Melissa Heiland, founder of "Beautiful Feet International. "Melissa shared that the act of instilling a heart for missions in our children is about instilling a deep love for all people to know Jesus as their Savior. As Melissa highlighted, there are numerous creative and accessible ways to incorporate missions into everyday family life. Here are 3 key takeaways from our insightful conversation on raising children to love missions:1. Reading Missionary Biographies: Expose your children to the inspiring stories of missionaries that can captivate and ignite their passion for impacting the world.2.  Engage your kids in activities like praying for missionaries; finding their location on a map and discovering more about that country; becoming pen pals with missionary children; and organizing projects to support missionaries' needs.3.  Consider exposing your kids to global mission experiences through short-term trips. These experiences can profoundly shape their spiritual development and worldview.Find out more about Melissa and her "Beautiful Feet International" ministry on her website.#5MinuteParenting #RaisingChildren #Missions #ParentingTips #GlobalPerspective #BeautifulFeetInternational  Check out the Questions for Kids picture book series, perfect for young readers ages 5-10! Book 3 in the Questions for Kids picture book series is now available!
