To evangelize children with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, disciple them through the Word of God and establish them in a local church for Christian living.
We do it by training teachers and volunteers, producing teaching materials suited to each age, and supporting churches that want to reach the children of their neighbourhood.
