Craft Stick Houseboat and the Cooperative Program

Collection for this project is closed.

Summertime is the right time for children to learn something new! The Cooperative Program is the financial fuel Southern Baptists use to fulfill the Great Commission.

Join churches and groups from across our denomination — from the Southern Baptist Convention, summer camps, Vacation Bible Schools, and more — and help children at your church understand how the 47,000 churches in the Southern Baptist Convention work together through the Cooperative Program for the sake of reaching the world for Christ.

Craft SticksHow?

By creating craft stick units that will become part of a larger houseboat that will serve as a representation of what we can do when we work together. (Please note: No missionaries will be living in the craft stick houseboat. The houseboat will not be built to life-size scale.)

Why a houseboat?

Once groups have mailed in their craft stick units, we will unveil the completed houseboat in November 2024 to coincide with the Missions Journey: Kids unit on church planters in South America who receive US partners at their floating house to help them engage an unreached people group with the gospel.
