Last words are important. I remember the last words of some of my departed loved ones and how they are seared in my memory with punctuated importance. Jesus’ last words hold even greater weight. Before He ascended into Heaven, He made a lot of hullabaloo about reaching our friends, neighbors, communities, and the rest of the world for Him.

This month in our Wednesday night program, Adventure Kids, we’ve been exploring what it means to be a missionary and how we, as ordinary kids, can make a difference both locally and globally. We’ve been researching unreached people groups all over the world. We realized that there are thousands of people groups on this big bouncing ball who have never heard the saving news of Jesus Christ; that’s billions of people whom Christ loves who don’t yet know of this epic love, who don’t have churches on every street corner, who haven’t seen The Jesus Video, and who don’t have missionaries in their community or pastors who can lead them to Christ.

We’re just a bunch of kids. But the Spirit of the Living God resides in our hearts and through His power alone, we can be His hands and feet.
