Mission Spotlight

The Adventist Mission website provides a great deal of information to help children understand the importance of supporting the mission offering. The Mission quarterly for both adults and children is available to download, as well as resources for the focus division. In addition, Mission Spotlight podcasts (there is a children's story available each quarter as well as overviews of the division and other interesting stories) are available to download. I find these extremely useful to share with the children in my Sabbath School so that they can visually see the area they are giving their offering to.

Some other useful resources:

God's Eye View - this article from Christianity Today - Parenting has many ideas for helping children discover the diversity of the world, many of which could be used for a Bible class.

For younger children you make like to use Whoever You Are Lesson from Literature during the Mission Spotlight section of your program.
