Special Giving Projects for Vacation Bible School and Summer Youth Camp

Ideas for special giving projects for Vacation Bible School, Summer Camp Programs, and Other Fun Activities for Children and Youth

We invite you to include Global Ministries in your plans for Vacation Bible School and Summer Youth events and camps. These events are exciting times in the life of the church and can be a wonderful opportunity to introduce children, youth, and people of all ages to the global mission of the church. There are a number of curricula that churches are choosing from for these programs, and Global Ministries will gladly assist congregations to supplement these different curricula with materials that provide a global perspective and are linked to vital ministries carried out by Global Ministries and its partners.

Journey to India and Journey to Congo are available for free download from here: http://globalministries.org/resources/youth-and-children/.

More projects for children

Global Ministries works in collaboration with our partners to provide food, basic health care, clothing, and in some cases housing, school fees, uniform, books and training, and livelihood opportunities to many children in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and Europe.

All financial gifts for projects are sent in their entirety for the designated purpose to our global partners. No administrative fees are taken from gifts to Global Ministries because of the faithful giving from our churches to Our Church's Wider Mission and the Disciples Mission Fund.
