On November 26, 2022, Nicholas Perri Jr., an off-duty firefighter, was enjoying his Saturday when he saw a car on fire with a woman inside. Nicholas sprang into action. He pulled the woman out of the vehicle and cared for her injuries until the ambulance arrived. Nicholas Perri Jr. risked his own life to do his job of saving another life. He was dedicated to the work he was called to do. 
 
On Paul’s third missionary journey, the Holy Spirit led him to go to Jerusalem. He knew that going to Jerusalem meant danger and trouble, but that didn’t stop Paul. Paul was uncertain of what would happen in Jerusalem, but he trusted in God who had called him to share the good news about Jesus.  
 
Paul was willing to risk his own life to tell others about Jesus—the One who offers eternal life! Jesus has commanded all His followers to continue telling others about Him. When we trust in Jesus, we receive a new mission, and we can have courage that God is with us as we work to tell others the good news about Jesus. 
 
 
As Paul traveled on his third missionary journey, he used every opportunity to tell people the good news about Jesus and to help the church. Paul was dedicated to Jesus, who called him to do the work of sharing the gospel.

For Fun
Look up different types of fears and phobias. Talk with kids about any fears they have in telling others about Jesus. If possible, give them encouraging Scriptures or advice on how to have courage in the work of sharing the gospel.

To Serve
Bake cookies for your local fire or police department. Write a thank you note to the men and women who risk their lives to serve others. Talk with kids about what it means to have courage. Explain that telling others about Jesus is not always easy, but God gives the courage we need to keep sharing the gospel.
