OBJECTIVES OF THIS SESSION

INTRODUCTION
We all love heroes. We find them in sports, in the movies, and in the military. But who would look for heroes among missionaries? There are some enthralling books about forgotten missionary heroes. There are also books that cover many different facets of missions. There are hundreds available from booksellers like Amazon, in paperback or electronic form. Today we’ll get a brief introduction.
- Open in prayer and ask the Lord to reveal to each one what he has for them.
