What is Changers Kids?
Changers Kids is a hands-on missions experience for children who have completed grades 4-6 and their leaders. Through mission projects and prayer walking children will learn skills that will prepare them for future mission trips. Kids who participate in the full weekend trip will have even more experiences like camping out on a church gym floor, and using a shower trailer, that prepare them for future mission trips and even our Student Changers Program. In each of these events, children are challenged to share the gospel in their everyday lives.
Mission projects will include experiences like cleaning and gardening at ministry sites, preparing meals for those in need, sorting clothes, and sharing Jesus at community centers.
