Here is a suggestion for a project. Children from around the world can participate in this global project. The money will be divided among the seven world regions, so some children in every region will benefit. A packet of promotional materials will be sent to Nazarene Christian schools in August. Any homeschool co-ops or homeschools can also receive the packets on request from Children’s Ministries International.

Children’s Ministries International is excited to announce the 2010-2011 Kids Reaching Kids Mission Offering Project, Mission: STAR Quest—Supplying Totally Awesome Resources for Christian Schools and Children Development Centers (CDCs).  

Christian Schools and CDCs are vital parts of the discipling process of children around the world. This offering will raise funds to supply Christian schools and CDCs with essential resources to help them serve better the children who attend. 

Children’s Ministries International encourages Christian schools, homeschool co-ops, local churches, or any one who would like to join us in helping to supply these essential resources. Some examples of these resources include:

• School supplies – Funds will be used to provide Christian schools and CDCs with basic school supplies, such as pens, pencils, paper, and glue. 

• School buildings – Funds will be used to build new or improve current structures for Christian schools and CDCs. 

• Educational books and curriculum – Children will have availability to quality educational textbooks and curriculum essential to their education. 

• Technology – Computers and other technological equipment to help enhance the education of children in Christian schools may be supplied. 

• Discipleship tools – Providing children with a strong biblical education is a central component of Christian schools. Discipleship tools, like the Bible Studies for Children published through KidzFirst Publishing, can be used in many areas of the world. Bible Studies for Children in 1 & 2 Samuel have been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Korean and French. Log onto www.kidzfirstpublications.com for more information about other children’s discipleship materials that have been translated. 

Now is the time to begin planning how your Christian school, church, or group can help partner with Children’s Ministries International in this very special offering.
