Things Christian Missionaries Do Comic Strip RAs Project
I wrote up this list of things that Christian missionaries do as a part of our missions learning for boys in Royal Ambassadors (RAs) at church. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but I wanted to give the boys some ideas of the types of things missionaries do. It is easy for them to think that all missionaries do is teach and preach the Bible, but that is usually only a small part of a missionary’s work. I provided the boys with this list of ideas to help them write comic strips about missionaries’ work.
20 THINGS CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES DO
- Start new churches in other countries.
- Start new churches in parts of America that do not have very many Christians.

- Fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20 ):
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
I also created these 3 comic strip templates with slight variations in style that the boys could choose from when they drew their comic strips for this RAs project. Here are the 3 templates which you can download and use for your own comic strips.
