Mission Possible: Children Discovering Purpose, Gifts, and Calling is a Bible-centered curriculum designed to teach and challenge children about the call of missions and to acquaint them with the work of real-life cross-cultural workers. These are not geography lessons with a Christian bent but Bible studies for children ages 6-12 to understand their role as Christians in missions and to connect their faith to the very big picture of what God is doing around the world. Students not only learn about missions but also are encouraged to live on mission in their homes, schools, and communities as well as to serve on the mission field in the future.

Teachers can customize curriculum elements to fit their students and time limits. It can be used as a 12-week program, a 4-week program, standalone lessons, or part of a VBS or missions conference, depending on a church’s needs. Including the options provided, each lesson has enough material to fill a 90-minute period but can be adapted to 30, 45, or 60 minutes.
