I have had an increasing conviction about teaching the kids under my ministry about how good we have it in the western church. I want them to have empathy and compassion for our persecuted brothers and sisters. One way I have recently done this is by using one ministry of Voice of the Martyrs called Prisoner Alert. On the Prisoner Alert website, you can write letters using a “wizard,” print those letters out, and mail them to imprisoned Christians featured on their website.
I recently did this with the Awana ministry at our church. I printed out a good deal of letters and had the children decorate them with Christian symbols and colorful pictures. They really enjoyed it. VOM will also send you a promotional video you can show your children to make them aware of how Christians are persecuted as well. I showed this prior to giving them the letters to decorate. Even though the letters cost money to mail, I thought this activity was well worth it to feature on this site.
