During the month of March, many celebrate St. Patrick's Day, with green decorations, shamrocks, rainbows, leprechans, and a focus on the nation of Ireland.

But do you know the REAL story of Patrick, who was a missionary to Ireland?

Come listen, and then, take the St. Patrick's Day Misson Challenge:

As Mission-Minded Families, why is it important to PRAY for mission needs around the world? How can we pray for missions and how can we encourage our kids to pray for needs, both locally and globally, beyond our own home?

Jim Elliot said, "He is no fool who gives what He cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."

In today's Quick Question, Ann brings a challenge about giving with SACRIFICE.

Recommended resources include Foxes Book of Martyrs, The Voice of the Martyrs, and Jesus Freaks, and Bible focus is Luke 18:22-23.

As Mission-Minded Families, why do we GO to other places around the world when there are so many needs right here in our own area?

Today's Quick Question focuses on forgiveness. How can we forgive and why is it important?

In this Quick Question mini-episode, Ann shares about ROCK SOLID, an online discipleship training course, especially for families (or small groups and churches) with youth or older children. The training includes 12 weeks of some Big-Basics in Christianity, with PDF worksheets and optional videos.

All are completely free and available at http://missionmindedfamilies.org/rock-solid.

In this Quick Question series, our focus is introducing your family to simple Gospel-sharing tools (along with some wonderful global-impacting ministries). Today, our focus is the Wordless Book, a simple tool (using the colors: black, red, white, gold, and green) to share the Gospel. Included in this episode is an introduction to the worldwide ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship, reaching children all over the globe.

My favorite way to share the Gospel with colors is the Good News Globe from CEF and CRU.
