Help your kids catch the vision!
Challenge you kids to get involved with Mission S.T.A.R Quest. Help them understand that they can have a big impact in the world through the Mission Offering Project.  Here are a few ways to get the kids excited about giving their money to reach other kids.

Poster & DVD
This year there is a General Audience or a VBS promotional option for promoting the Mission Offering Project. Click on the promotional option to the left that fits your local ministry’s needs. Use the Mission S.T.A.R. Quest promotional poster and cool DVD presentation to get kids interested and excited about the 2010-2011 mission project. Place the poster in your church foyer, outside a Sunday School room, or children's worship chapel. Make sure it is in an area where both children and adults can view it. Play the DVD during morning services and at VBS (or all year long, October 1, 2010 – September 30, 2011) to give everyone a glimpse of your vision! Click here to request a free poster and DVD.

Create an Eye Catching Display
Use the 17”x22” full-color General Audience or the 24”x36” VBS MOP poster as the center piece of an eye catching display, or bulletin-board. You can download the version of your choice by clicking on the promotional option on the left that best fits your local ministry’s needs.

Kids Leading Worship
Collaborate with the pastoral staff to allow kids to lead worship on a Sunday morning. Have the pastor preach a sermon prepared for children. Allow the kids to participate in areas of music, greeting and reading scripture.  Use the Mission S.T.A.R. Quest promo from the DVD as a part of the worship to get the entire congregation on board with this year’s Mission Offering Project. Designate a portion of the morning's offering for your mission offering project.

M & M's for Missions
Give each child a mini M & M container, filled with candy, of course. Once the candy is gone, these containers make great banks. Develop a list of activities kids can do at home, such as taking out the trash or helping with the dishes. Work in cooperation with their parents, and ask them to give their children a quarter for each task they complete. Most banks hold approximately 13 dollars in quarters. Many children will fill their banks quickly and come back for new ones.

Special Events
Plan to promote Mission S.T.A.R. Quest at zone, district, and regional events, like District Sunday School and Discipleship International Conventions, children’s quiz events, or at children’s. Think creatively about ways to promote the offerings and locations for giving opportunities.
