Crafts on Sharing about Jesus
Craft Ideas for Making Disciples and Sharing Christ’s Love
As we take a look at the calling of Christ’s first disciples, it’s important to consider how ultimately we are all called to be part of the family of God, and to expanding that family. These crafts remind students of the importance of sharing things, including and especially the love of Jesus.
Bible Verses or Craft Captions to Consider…
The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” 37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. -John 1:35-37
God loves you…and so do I! Share the good news!
Some things are better shared…pass on God’s love to others!
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit… -Matthew 28:19
