Coloring Missions

Presentation Dear brothers! It is with joy that we present to you Coloring Missions, a completely free magazine with activities for children. The goal of this publication is to teach them values of the Church’s missionary work in a biblical and entertaining way. As we put together drawings and activities based on some key missionary Bible verses, our hope is for children to relate to them and associate them with the work of reaching all peoples with the Gospel. Our desire is for this resource to be presented by the educators or the children's parents, so they can explain the message content in the verses and in the illustrations. This will offer the children a greater understanding of missions and why it is so important. These materials are completely free, graciously contributed from two Brazilian missionary blogs “Veredas Missionárias” and “Celeiro Missionário”. It is available in four languages: Portuguese, English, Spanish and French. We encourage you to download the magazine, print or make photocopies as needed so you can distribute the material among children, Christian educators and evangelical churches. You are welcome to use all of the material or parts of it, but remember, it cannot be sold. Our prayer is that the Lord will raise up our children as the new generation of missionaries who will be able to finish the task commanded to the Church in the Great Commission.
