A 20-Lesson Global Discipleship Journey for Kids
Welcome to MISSIONS: Big World. Bigger God. — a 20-lesson journey designed to help children discover God’s heart for the nations and understand that they are part of His mission story.
This series helps children see that:
- God loves people from every nation
- The Bible is one unified mission story
- God uses ordinary believers to do extraordinary things
- Children can live on mission right now — through prayer, generosity, kindness, and sharing Jesus
Our prayer is that this curriculum raises a generation of Christ-centred, globally-minded disciples who live every day with the mindset: Big world — Bigger God.
