School is out for summer. . . In fact, it is barely out. So why talk about a backpack mission project? It is an engaging mission project that tweens can do at home with their families. When it is complete, it will be time for school to begin again, and one child will be blessed by the project.
- Begin with a new backpack, a list of school supplies, and a small, fun spiral notebook.
- Explain to the tweens that each will have a week to take the backpack home. His or her family may choose one item from the list to add to the backpack. Check out my Pinterest board with faith-filled notes that could be attached to each item.
- Also, ask each tween (as it is his or her turn with the backpack) to add a note of encouragement, message of faith, favorite Bible verse, or promise of prayer. The fun notebooks could be used for that purpose.
- Before passing the backpack on to the contact person for giveaway, pray as a group for the student who will receive it.
Does the Bible talk about a backpack mission project? I think so. . .
. . . the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ Acts 20:35b (NIV)
