Families, Missions, and Summer

Here are some suggestions of things your family can do this summer. Warm weather is a great time to branch out and connect with neighbors and your community.

  • Make brownies and deliver them to an unchurched family in your neighborhood.
  • Help the children make holiday or get well cards for homebound neighbors and deliver them as a family along with baked goods or a small gift.
  • Teach children how to prayer walk. Prayer walk your local school and around your neighborhood. You can do “prayer driving” too!
  • Using a large world map, locate where missionaries serve and pray for them during your family devotion time. A list of missionaries and their birthdays is in the monthly missions magazine, Missions Mosaic, available from WMU (www.wmu.com/curriculum).
  • Collect canned goods for a local food pantry. Deliver them together and arrange for a tour of the facility if possible.
