Key Concerns

Take a look at some of the key concern areas that we seek to address.

There are over 2 billion children in the world, most are unreached.

If we don’t reach children, we lose half of the world – and all of the church’s future.

Children are dependent on adults to hear the gospel, but active faith and church engagement from adults is declining.

The family unit is in crisis like never before, which directly impacts the stability of children.

Despite their incredible potential, children are considered too young to contribute to the mission of the church.

Core Ambition

How can we see children and families thrive?

We want to see children everywhere walking with Jesus.

‘Whoever welcomes one of these little children on my behalf welcomes me.’ 

Mark 9:37

Take a moment to pray for a child you know—that they would come to faith and become a contributing member in God’s church.

So what can we do?

Value children and young people as the church of today, not merely of tomorrow.
