Children's Missions
Use WMU’s curriculum to equip children in grades 1–6 to learn about missions, pray for missions, support missions, and do missions and tell people about Jesus.
Through missions discipleship, children learn to share God's love in multiple ways, from collecting school supplies for back-to-school backpacks to passing out water at sports events, from taking a meal to a homebound community member to even sharing a smile or a prayer with someone who needs it.

Missions Journey: Kids Curriculum
As children are continually exposed to the relationship between the gospel and the Great Commission through missions discipleship, they will better understand their part in God’s plan.
One of the greatest benefits of missions discipleship is that it helps young believers understand God can use them now to share His love with others and make a difference. These experiences are often the first seeds of the call to missions.
Children's Ministry & Groups
Missions Journey: Kids can be customized to include missions in any children’s ministry programming or as traditional group curriculum in churches large and small.
Badge/Patch Program
We offer badges and patches to foster GA, RA, and CA group and Christian identity and values and to challenge and stretch kids with projects to support missions and do missions and tell others about Jesus.
