Paul Became a Missionary: Acts 13-14
TALK ABOUT IT
1.What was your favorite part of the video we just watched?
2.Have you learned anything about God that surprises you?
3.Even though Paul and Barnabas faced troubles in the cities they went to, what was something good that happened?
Discuss how Paul and Barnabas led many people to trust in Jesus. Tell kids that they did not let their hardships keep them from telling people the most important news. Remind kids that they also showed others that Jesus is worth everything, even losing their lives. Tell kids that many churches were started as well.
4.Why does God call missionaries?
Remind kids that a missionary is a Christian chosen by God who obeys His command to go and tell another group of people the good news of Jesus. Discuss how missionaries are called to share the gospel because there may not be another Christian presence. Remind kids that all people need to hear the gospel to have an opportunity to trust in Jesus.
5.God had a plan for Paul’s life even when he suffered. How can this truth encourage you when you face hard times?
Answers will vary. Remind kids that we are loved by God and that He always wants what is best for us. Tell kids that sometimes challenging times make us run to God more and help us trust Him in ways we never could without the challenges. Help kids understand that God is with us and gives us courage, like He did for Paul, when we have hardships.

Elementary Family Actions:
OBSTACLE JOURNEY
Before the session, create an obstacle course using items present in the room such as a table the kids must go under, a chair they must go around, a book they must step over, a Bible they must pick up along the way, etc. Reveal the specific
path kids must follow on their obstacle journey. Tell kids that you will time them as they travel through the obstacle course. Challenge kids to complete the course as fast as they can without straying from the correct path you showed them. Reveal the fastest time. Consider having a showdown to determine the final winner.
SAY “The journey you traveled around the room had quite a few obstacles to overcome. The apostle Paul also faced obstacles on his missionary journeys. Today, we will learn how Paul became a missionary and some of the obstacles he faced as he shared the gospel.”
