What Is MissionsQuest?
MissionsQuest is the individual achievement plan for Acteens and is designed to be an extension of what girls learn in their regular Acteens meetings. The focus is to develop spiritually toward a missions lifestyle through learning about missions, praying for missions, giving to missions, and doing missions.

Does a Girl Have to Be in an Acteens Group to Work on MissionsQuest?
Absolutely not. Girls can work on MissionsQuest on their own with the assistance of a parent or other interested adult. MissionsQuest is an excellent resource for students who are homeschooled and don't have Acteens in their church.

How Does the New MQ Work?
Each quest is divided into these four sections: heart, soul, mind, and strength. Each section has both required and optional activities. Each girl or group will choose two of the four required activities and two of the eight optional activities in each of the four sections for a total of 16 activities per quest.

Are There Samples?

Does MQ Work for Any Size Acteens Group?
MissionsQuest works for both large and small groups. Whether you have one girl working on a journey or lots of girls, you will find choices that work for your students.

MissionsQuest works in urban and rural settings and all the suburbs in between. Enough variety is built in so that you will find activities that work for you.

Are the Activities for Individuals or Groups?
The flexibility of the plan means that within a quest some groups may work on some activities together, work on some activities with partners or in small groups, and work on some individually. Therefore, all girls in one Acteens group do not have to select the same options or the same quest.

Each activity stands alone, but some activities build on what is learned in others. Reading all of the options and selecting those that work together and those that work best for individuals and for groups will help your planning.

Can Acteens Create Their Own Activities?
Each girl will have the opportunity in each of the six quests to create one activity of her own. This activity would serve as a replacement for one of the optional activities.

Students should get your approval of an activity they have created before they begin it. When evaluating an activity, be sure the activity has some challenge to it, that it fits the particular quest the student is working on, that it's not too difficult, and that it's scripturally sound, etc.

Ask the student to type up the activity once it is approved and include it in her quest journal/portfolio.
