All Over the World

Scripture: Acts 8:1-40

Learning Objectives:

  • Students will learn God opened the Church to Samaritans after the Jews.
  • Students will learn God does not want us to become Christians so we can get what we want in life.
  • Students will learn God wants the good news about Jesus to be told to everyone in the world.
  • Students will learn vocabulary about geography.

Guiding Question: Why does God want us to share our faith with others?

Materials: Maps

Procedure: Review the story of Philip and how the Ethiopian Eunuch came to be saved. Discuss how Philip shared his faith with the Eunuch and the importance of baptism in the conversion process. Explain that people called missionaries go around the world to help people and share God with them in hopes of converting them to Chrsitianity. Even if our job is not to go around the world, we can still be missionaries in our school and other places we go with people. We can share God through our words and actions. God desires that all people know about Him and become Christians.

Introduce the activity. Bring in world maps for the students and provide students with maps to look at. Review geography and topography words, direction words and place names. Once students have reviewed, have them pair up and try to stump each other with words on the maps.

Additional Questions: How can students explain geography?

Supplemental Activity: Give each student the same map. Give students a place to find on the map and the first one to answer and explain how they found it on the map using geography and directional words gets a point.
