Bible Passages:

	[Earnest and Kristina are running a Missions Marathon, jogging in place with exaggerated “running” arm motions.]
Earnest:	Wow, this is great! Some of these people we've been talking to have decided to join the race for Jesus!
Kristina:	Yeah, it's really great to see them serving God in the church.
Earnest:	A couple of them were asking me if they can join in on this Missions Marathon, too, but I'm not sure what I should tell them. Can just anyone join in the Missions Marathon?
Kristina:	Well, you said they already joined the race for Jesus, right?
Earnest:	Yes, they're serving the Lord now in the church, but they want to do missions, too. How can they join up?
Kristina:	Remember how I pulled you out of the bleachers?
Earnest:	Oh, yeah. I was waiting to join the Missions Marathon, but I didn't know what I needed to do.
Kristina:	Right, so I told you to get out of the bleachers and start running the course, and you've been running all week.
Earnest:	Oh, I see. So once somebody is saved, once they have given their lives to Jesus, they can start running the Missions Marathon any time?
Kristina:	Yep, they just have to get on the course and start doing it.
Earnest:	[Point to audience.] So, what about these people sitting in the bleachers here, watching us? Can they join the Missions Marathon?
Kristina:	I hope they do!
