Teaching point: DEMONSTRATE could mean a "drawing" or "presentation" or "diorama" type of project that not only tells their story way back then, but also the EFFECT that their choice makes on our lives and hearts today.

He was still viewed as a killer of Christians, one that could not be trusted. They looked at him as if he had a plan to kill them by becoming one of them. Barnabas assisted him in integrating into the Christian community in Jerusalem. BibleGateway.com link
They viewed him in this fashion since he had been their persecutor prior to his conversion. Acts 8:1-3 BibleGateway link

Many individuals live a life of sin before coming into the church.

Pathfinders are encouraged to explore the options available that would clearly outline Paul’s travels as he ministered.
This can include images from FREE IMAGE websites like flickr.com and Google images (tools ==> useage rights ==> labeled for reuse) Sample link for "Paul apostle missionary" images
Teaching idea: Divide the kids into groups. Have each group research pictures on four of the locations Paul stopped and download, print, or capture one or two images from each of those cities. Attach these images to a centralized map of Paul's missionary journeys. If done digitally, a Powerpoint set of slides with one page for EACH JOURNEY would be PLENTY to fulfill this requirement.
Teaching idea: Take pictures of the Pathfinders "freeze framing" one scene from four of the cities Paul visited on each journey. Attach them to a missionary journeys map, either in print or digital form. Costuming would be cool, but "modern interpretations" would also be appropriate.

The Great Commission is the concluding statement of Jesus to His disciples and gives a command to His disciples. BibleGateway.com has over 200 versions and thus a variety of ways to read this text. The link shares three common versions - NKJV (Pathfinder Bible), NIV (normal read for many people in North America), and CSB (a new version copyrighted 2017)
And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him. Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

The verbs show us the roles we must take in this part of discipleship.
GO
MAKE DISCIPLES
BAPTIZE
Put another way:
- Go forth
- Teach, educate
- Baptize in the name of the Lord
11b
Brainstorm means to let your Pathfinders do most of the thinking with the Pathfinder leader GUIDING the discussion to keep it "within boundaries."
Some possibilities include:
- Philip baptizes the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8)
- Peter is called, responds to, preaches to, and baptizes Cornelius the Roman centurion (Acts 10)
- Paul travels throughout Asia Minor (Acts 13 to 26 various stories)
- Paul is imprisoned, there is an earthquake, and as a result the jailer is baptized (Acts 16)
11c
This question is wide open. The important elements are that it means stepping outside our comfort zone and sharing Jesus with people outside of our current faith community. This does NOT mean "give and run" random "booklet evangelism" but rather methods that involve all three portions of the Great Commission.
11d
Teaching Idea: A simple page, sticky notes, or journal entry would suffice. Encourage the Pathfinders to make the goals DOABLE and MEASURABLE and truly OBTAINABLE with the help of God.
Examples:
- I will assist two people that I would normally ignore.
- I will teach someone younger than me (physically or spiritually less mature) one thing I have come to know about Jesus Christ in a way that helps them hear the message effectively.
- I will spend three hours serving my public community.
- I will donate either time or money (specific amounts) to disaster relief in my country/region of origin.
- I will pray for people I am getting to know who are not currently part of my church.
- I will help my church with the upcoming evangelistic series.
Make sure the Pathfinders have chosen goals that they can reasonably accomplish and completely accomplish. Check back in a few weeks to encourage and confirm completion of goals.
