Here is a fun song you can sing with your child or class about wanting to be a missionary. For each verse you can insert a different place where you can share the gospel. It could be a country, city, specific place, etc. Have fun with it! If you have some space to move, you can make this song interactive by moving around the room on the chorus while either marching, flying, or rowing. That will help instill the fact that missionaries go out into all the world and teach!
This song also pairs really well with our What is a Missionary class. As your class explores where all your missionaries work and the jobs they do for God’s kingdom, they can sing this song and list out all the different countries.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
