Many Sunday Schools and Vacation Bible School's have a mission emphasis as a part of their program. Below, you will find several ideas that will engage students in missions. You'll also find resources you can download or view to help you share the project with the students.
India and Uganda
Many people around the world learn best orally. Sometimes there are very few books and especially Bibles in their native language. We have been using a device called the MegaVoice to help them learn God's Word in their mother tongue. The Scriptures and Bible lessons are placed on the solar powered MegaVoice and they memorize the Word of God from the device.
Each MegaVoice costs approximately $30.00. Challenge your Sunday school or VBS to give as many as they can.

Sanitary Toilet for Church and Parsonage in India
Recently on a trip to India we visited a village just after the rain. We were informed that the rain causes much sickness because the sewage and drinking water mix. After the church service we were shown the toilet facilities for the church and parsonage. They consisted of a small area with a tarp around it for privacy. We were told, "This is an example of the type of thing that causes sickness." Then they asked if we would pray for the funds to build a sanitary toilet for the church and parsonage.
A sanitary toilet for this church will cost $850.00

Mexico
One of our ministries in Mexico reaches out to children. At Christmas time we like to give the children Christmas boxes to show the love of Christ. This Christmas boxes include printed material that explains the Gospel. Each box costs $5.00. We have set a goal of 100 boxes for this Christmas.
Bibles
The Word of God, specifically the Gospel is the primary means that God uses to create and strengthen faith in peoples lives. Therefore, it is important that people have the World of God in their language to read and ponder. Every one of our mission fields can benefit from Bibles to give to people who do not have them.
Sunday Schools and VBS's have been motivated to give Bibles to people who don't have them. Pick out a country and encourage your students to give the Word of God to those who don't have it.
