A Life of Adventure
About This Script
CHILD 1 announces a plan to grow up to be a missionary, and CHILD 2 is skeptical—picturing nothing but jungles, wild animals, and danger. An audience-participation “jungle” chorus and the true story of Paul and Barnabas (including the snakebite from Acts 28) help CHILD 2 understand that missionaries go wherever people haven't heard about Jesus—even right in their own neighborhood.
