In this thought-provoking two-person skit, a checklist of tasks reveals more than completed duties—it exposes a crucial oversight. Terry believes the job is done, but Annie points out what’s missing: training others to carry the mission forward. Based on Matthew 24:14, this drama is a powerful reminder that our calling isn’t just to serve, but to equip others to do the same.

Sample Script

(Two actors are standing together. Annie holds a checklist and pen, marking items as she asks questions.)

ANNIE
Did you take care of that report?

TERRY
Check.

ANNIE
Did you make those calls?

TERRY
Check.

ANNIE
Did you file those papers?

TERRY
Check.

ANNIE
Did you finalize details at the meeting?

TERRY
Check.

ANNIE
Did you arrange those appointments?

TERRY (frustrated)
Check, check, check! I told you I’ve done absolutely everything that is required of me! Can I go now?

ANNIE
Not so fast. I think your work shows a certain deficiency in the area of training.

TERRY (upset, grabs the checklist from Annie)
What do you mean? I worked extremely hard at everything! How could I have missed something?

ANNIE
Well, this is easily fixed. Just show me your list of people you trained to keep up your work.

TERRY (more quietly)
People I trained? Well, uh... I found I just couldn’t rely on many of them. You know how young kids are nowadays! It’s just easier if I do the work myself!
