Mission Animation Resources

We're your best friend when it comes to forming a missionary spirit in our youth. It is essential to engage with children on the work of missions. Below, we've compiled some resources that will help ignite children's passion for mission. These materials inspire students to prayer and action on behalf of others, locally and globally. Activities and crafts make the lessons fun and interactive as students learn about the needs of the young mission Church.  

Please note these resources are not our own, but rather resources we find useful when it comes to educating our youth on the importance of global mission initiatives.
