It’s important for kids to learn that they are a part of a global community. Teaching about World Missions is not as difficult as it may sound. Here are some resources that will help you in your ministry to children. These ideas can be used in Sunday School, Character Building groups, Junior Soldiers/Corps Cadets, etc. We know this summer and fall will still look different for many of you, so please feel free to adapt these ideas to your current reality.
