We want to serve as a family so what a better idea than to encourage your kids be an active part of God's work. I'm excited to start implementing more of these ideas with the kids. How great of God to use parents to be part of his work in his children. "I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples." Psalm 57:9

Has your daughter been on any wee-long group missions yet? I have some amazing memories from those. :)
I also worked as a missionary in Acapulco for 2 months at an orphanage and a street-child care center. So challenging! But well worth it.
I love the idea of finding a missionary kid pen-pal. I'm going to see what I can do about that!
these are amazing ideas!! as someone who will hopefully be on the field as an M in a few years, i covet these prayers and the awareness you're cultivating in your kiddos - i know other servants do as well! can't wait to instill these same values in my future children.
