My name is Belvedere hello kids.
And my name is Jo-Jo kids hello.
Belvedere: (Singing) I'm on a mission
I want to walk with Jesus
I want to talk to Jesus
Jo-Jo: What are you on about this time Belvedere? I thought we are on a mission?
We belong to Jesus and we must go tell!
Belvedere: Yes! But there is so much more. (singing) I have a mission.
I have a vision.
Jo-Jo: (Singing I have a...) you have got me doing it now.
Belvedere: (singing) I have a mission
I have a purpose!
Jo-Jo: Wait! Wait Belvedere what has a mission got to do with purpose?
Belvedere: I am so excited Jo-Jo...
Jo-Jo: (interrupting) I also want to be excited, tell us what are you excited about, the kids and I want to know, right kids(wait for a response)
Belvedere: Okay, if you will give me a chance, uhm where do I start?
Jo-Jo: B e l vedere. (pulling it out)
Belvedere: Okay! Okay! I was at a kids club meeting and they were talking about purpose.
Jo-Jo: Purpose? uhmmm.
Belvedere: Yes do you know what your purpose is Jo-Jo?
Jo-Jo: Yes, to play and to go play..
Belvedere: What is your vision?
Jo-Jo: But I don't need my eyes tested, my vision
is good, there nothing wrong with my eyes.
Belvedere: Not that kind of vision, Jo-Jo. Vision means you have something on your heart you want to do and purpose means you want to do it.
Jo-Jo: Okay, I get the picture, tell us more.
Belvedere: Well the leader at the meeting was telling us about Jesus and the Love of God.
Jo-Jo: Like that song we sing, let us sing it.
Belvedere: 1,2,3 I love Jesus yes I do
I love Jesus yes I do
He is the son of God
Let's do it again...x2
Belvedere: So where was I (thinking) The leader was telling us about Jesus and the kind of man He was and how He travelled around with His disciples.
Jo-Jo: Belvedere? Did they go by car?
Belvedere: No man, they had to walk.
Jo-Jo: Walk? Why?
Belvedere: In those days cars had not been invented yet!
Jo-Jo: And buses?
Belvedere: No, no buses either nor aeroplanes!
Jo-Jo: wow! No aeroplanes.
Belvedere: Jesus many times slept in the fields under a tree with a big fire for wild animals.
Jo-Jo: Wild animals? No.
Belvedere: Sometimes people would give them place to sleep.
Jo-Jo: Sleeping under the stars and walking I didn't know all these things Belvedere?
Belvedere: Let me tell you more. Jesus often went one side to pray. He would walk a little way away from everybody to be alone to pray to His Father in heaven.
Jo-Jo: Can I ask you something?
Belvedere: Yes!
Jo-Jo: If Jesus prayed then so must we hey?
Belvedere: Yes, Jo-Jo Jesus was truly an example to us as he went about His Fathers business.
Jo-Jo: Why? What did He sell? Kids do you know if He sold anything? (wait for response)
Belvedere: Wait, Wait now God sent Jesus on a mission.
Jo-Jo: Yes! And what was that?
Belvedere: It says so in the Bible. In John chapter 3 verse 16 "God loved us so much that he gave His only Son Jesus, so that whoever believes in Him will go to heaven". He was on a mission.
Jo-Jo: So is that what you were singing about. I'm on a mission, I have a purpose.
Belvedere: Exactly!Let's sing it together:
I'm on a mission
I have a vision
I have a purpose x2
Jo-Jo: I want to be on a mission too.
Belvedere: Jo-Jo, what do you want to become when you grow up?
Jo-Jo: I want to be a Doctor!
Belvedere: Then you must learn hard and go to college. That's having a vision and your purpose is to study and get there.
Jo-Jo: (singing) I want to be a Doctor x2
Belvedere: I want to be like Jesus. I want to pray for people to get healed and tell them of God's love.
Jo-Jo: I feel better now! (slowly) But what if ...
Belvedere: What if, what?
Jo-Jo: What if I want to be a lawyer?
Belvedere: That's okay, you can.
Jo-Jo: But what if?...
Belvedere: Jo-Jo you need to pray about it.
Jo-Jo: Okay! I will.
Belvedere: You need to ask God to help you to decide what does He want you to become. You might be surprised.
Jo-Jo: Surprised!?
Belvedere: Yes surprised! Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 11 says "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".
Jo-Jo: I am so excited God has got plans for me.(proudly)
Belvedere: Sometimes it surprises us because God has bigger and better plans for us than what we think.
Jo-Jo: I want to be more like Jesus too. I want to find out Gods plans for me?
Belvedere: God has great plans for you and I.
Jo-Jo: Can I ask you something?
Belvedere: Yes.
Jo-Jo: You said I must pray, then how will I know what God says?
Belvedere: Mmm... Sometimes you know a thing is wrong but you do it anyway?
Jo-Jo: Yes!
Belvedere: Then why do you do it?
Jo-Jo: Because I just want to.
Belvedere: Yes, but that's not wise.
Jo-Jo: uhmm... its selfish.
Belvedere: Do you know what really made me sing? It was because I was happy.
Jo-Jo: What?
Belvedere: I know that God loves me and Jesus died for me and now I know that God has big plans for me. Let's sing I love Jesus yes I do
1,2,3 I love Jesus yes I do
I love Jesus yes I do
He is the Son of God x2
Jo-Jo: Yes, yes!
Belvedere: He will let me feel bad if I go the wrong way then I will know I must turn and go the right way and then I am happy.
Jo-Jo: Sad wrong way? Happy right way! I got it.
Belvedere: Let sing: I've got a vision
I've got a purpose x2
Jo-Jo: Belvedere what do you want to be when you grow up?
Belvedere: I want to travel all over the world.
Jo-Jo: Really (long) take me too.
Belvedere: I want to be a missionary.
Jo-Jo: A miss – ion – ary? What's that?
Belvedere: I want to go all over the world to tell everybody that God loves them because that's what Jesus did.
Jo-Jo: And tell them about Jesus...?
Belvedere: Yes!
Jo-Jo: And praying for them?
Belvedere: Yes, I love to pray!
Jo-Jo: Yes, Jesus had vision and purpose.
Belvedere: Yes, He did.
Jo-Jo: Will you take me with next time you go to Sunday school or kids club?
Belvedere: You are welcome Jo-Jo, its fun!
Jo-Jo: What do you do there that is so much fun?
Belvedere: Well (thinking) first we sing.
Jo-Jo: I love to sing!
Belvedere: And then we learn all about Jesus from the Bible.
Jo-Jo: I want to learn too, I want to be like Jesus!
Belvedere: Just before we are finished we pray for one another.
Jo-Jo: So is that where the mission stuff starts?
I think I like it.
Belvedere: I suppose you could say that, because the more you read the Bible and learn about Jesus
the more you love Him. Let's sing I'm on a mission 1,2,3 I'm on a mission, I'm on a mission,
I'm on a mission for Jesus. x2
Jo-Jo: I know, I know John chapter 3 verse 16.
Belvedere: Jo-Jo, you are getting clever!
Jo-Jo: Well I never thought about this stuff before.
Belvedere: (surprised) Really!
Jo-Jo: Yes, I just wanted to play all the time, I didn't have a purpose.
Let's sing: I'm on a mission
I have a vision
I have a purpose
Let's all do it together x2
Belvedere: That was fun Jo-Jo, a lot of people die and never know about Jesus, or their vision and purpose in life.
Jo-Jo: That really makes me sad. I want to read my Bible and sing about Jesus everyday. Let us sing another song Belvedere?
Belvedere: Let me teach you a great song listen:
I love to sing to Jesus everything
I love to sing to Jesus everything
He is my Lord I love Him so
I love to sing to Jesus everything.
Let's ask Andy to play the guitar and sing with us.
I love to sing to Jesus everything
I love to sing to Jesus everything
He is my Lord I love Him so
I love to sing to Jesus everything.
Let us sing it again.
Jo-Jo: Let's sing: I'm on a mission
Let's sing it together come on kids and Belvedere
I'm on a mission
I'm on a mission
I'm on a mission for Jesus x2
Belvedere: Andy sing with us I belong to Jesus please. I belong to Jesus
I belong to Jesus
I belong to Jesus
He is the Son of God. x2
Belvedere is still speaking: Kids, Jo-Jo this has been fun, it is time to say good bye.
Jo-Jo: Yes, this has been fun we have enjoyed every minute.
Belvedere: We certainly have and we are on a mission.
