Color the World: Missions Curriculum

Student Guide for Teens and Adults

Your class just finished the lesson. Now what happens to it during the week?

Color the World: Student Guide is the companion workbook to the Color the World Teacher's Guide. It takes the same 16 lessons your teacher or leader is presenting and puts them directly into your hands, so the lesson does not end when class does. It becomes something you write in, pray through, and carry with you.

This is not a summary of the class. It is the class, written to you.

What Makes This Guide Different

Sixteen lessons, written straight to you

Every lesson speaks in second person, not lecture notes. You are not reading about what the teacher will say. You are reading what God's Word says to you, directly, with room to respond in your own words.

A memory verse you actually write down

Each lesson opens with a King James Version memory verse and cross-references. You write the verse in your own hand and speak it aloud three times before you begin. Scripture that passes through your hand and your voice stays with you longer than Scripture you only hear.

A true mission story in every lesson

You will read about John G. Paton risking his life in the New Hebrides, Lottie Moon giving everything she had in China, and a translator who stayed in a war zone when everyone else evacuated. Two additional short stories accompany each main story, so you see the same truth proven three different ways.

A real people group to learn and pray for, every week

Sixteen lessons introduce sixteen unreached or under-reached people groups, complete with population, location, religious background, and Bible translation status. You will not pray for missions in the abstract. You will pray by name, by place, by need, and track that need across sixteen weeks.

A phrase in a world language, every week

Each lesson teaches you to say "Jesus loves you" or a related phrase in a different world language, with pronunciation and space to practice writing it. By the end of the guide, you will have learned to speak the Gospel in sixteen different tongues.

Room to actually think, not just read

Every lesson includes:

• A memory verse with space to write it out

• An opening reflection question with room to answer

• A shortened teaching passage that opens up the Scripture

• A mission story spotlight

• A language phrase to practice

• A Bible translation focus with prayer needs

• A map moment with space to sketch or take notes

• Five reflection and discussion questions with room to write your answers

• Specific prayer points for the nations

• A weekly mission challenge with a place to record the date and what happened

• Space for your own additional notes

You will finish this guide with a written record of sixteen weeks of your own spiritual growth, not just a stack of completed pages.

Built on the King James Version

Every Scripture quotation in this guide comes from the King James Version, used by permission of the author. What you read here matches the Bible in your hands.

A weekly mission challenge that leaves the room with you

Each lesson ends with a specific, practical action for that week, not a vague suggestion. You write down the date you completed it and what happened. By the end of the series, you will have a written trail of sixteen real steps of obedience.
