Let’s say the SuperTruth together. “Jesus sends us out in His name.” 

What does Jesus send us out to do? God’s work, His will, to share the Good News, to serve and show others God’s love, to build His Kingdom. 

The verses you will look up are about sharing the Gospel and building God’s Kingdom. 

Note that the suggested answers are from the New Living Translation. If children are using different translations, their answers will vary. 

Write the scripture references, one at a time, on the board for children to look up, read, and find the answers to fill in the blanks. Assist children as necessary and help children not familiar with the Bible or pair them with a more experienced child. Have children raise their hands when they have found the answer.
