Alright. You kids. If you are growing up a Baptist, you're going to think Missionaries are heros. You're going to hear ways to pray for them. You're going to feel like you really care. But you're not going to really have a CLUE where they are in the world.
Now, I'm not going to make you learn all 200+ countries in the world. But you WILL learn your continents. This is so important that you AT LEAST know this, that I'm going to threaten you.
When you boys are grown into men, and you girls are beautiful women, you might be getting married someday. When I go through the reception line at your wedding, in front of your newly wedded spouse, I just might put you on the spot:
"Tell me the names of the seven continents!"
And you WILL remember them!
It's possible they won't invite me back next year.
But the kids did know 'em by the end of the week
(and a whole lot more about missions too!)
