AIMKids Missionary Moments are designed to be a resource for Sunday School Teachers / Youth leaders, to help kids relate to the life of an MK (Missionary Kid). They’re intentionally short because we know you already have a lot of material to cover.

1. Endurance: The race is 23 days long, but racers spend 21-days on their bikes
2. Distance:  In those 21 days they cover 3,500 Kilometers (France uses the metric system) or 2,200 miles.
3. Flexibility: Cyclists have to be good on flat ground (9 days), hilly ground (5 days), mountain roadways (6 days), and high altitude roadways (5 days). 

And it leads to…

A Great Finish: No matter where the race takes them in France, the finish line is ALWAYS on the Champs Elysées in Paris. They cross the finish line and get a reward to the cheers of thousands of spectators.

Prayer Focus:

Pray that we (you in your church and us in France) will be like racers in the Tour de France:

1. Endurance: That even though it might get uncomfortable at times… we will stick with it to the end!
2. Distance: We never know where God’s will will take us… we can go far and do great things for God.
3. Flexibility: That we will stay faithful to God in all circumstance: good times or bad, easy days or tough.

Hebrews 12:1-2:
