The document describes a pocket scavenger hunt icebreaker activity for youth. It involves making a list of common items youth carry and dividing into teams. Teams compete to be the first to retrieve requested items from their pockets/bags. The activity teaches that God can use small, everyday things and people to show his love. Youth are encouraged to let God use the small parts of their lives to demonstrate love to others.

Application
• After the game, tell the
group that today’s lesson is
like the game.
• Seemingly insignificant items
became valuable as we tried
to win.
• So it is with us. We may view
ourselves as nothing too
special, yet God says he can
and will do amazing works
through people who may
seem insignificant by the
world’s standards, yet who
are faithful to him.
