A kid-friendly church within walking distance of every child and teen in Africa.
About Africa’s Children
-
Today in Africa, over 40% of the continent is under the age of 15. This means over 500 millions kids and teens call Africa home. We believe that every young person in Africa deserves to experience the love of Jesus. Our vision is to see a a kid-friendly church within walking distance of every child and teen in Africa. To see this become reality, we must have intentional strategy and focus to partner with national churches to develop healthy next-gen ministries.
-
Resourcing: We resource missionaries and local churches in Africa by providing teaching and training materials, helping with spaces for education and spiritual development, and developing programs to meet the spiritual and physical needs of the next generation.
Training: We train local African believers to reach and teach children and teens and develop leaders who will champion the needs of the next generation.
Inspiring: We advocate for ministry to children and teens by inspiring local churches in Africa to meet the needs of the next generation in their communities and by being a catalyst where this ministry to does not exist.
-
Christ Centered: We believe Jesus calls us to share His love with everyone, especially the next generation in Africa. We are committed to following the biblical example that Jesus gives us to reach, teach, and show compassion to the children and teens of Africa.
Sustainability: We believe those best equipped to minister to Africa’s next generation are Africans themselves. We will have a greater impact when we help raise up and equip children’s and teen ministers across the continent. We are committed to ministry models that encourage local involvement and ownership and which use the resources available in their context.
Partnership: We believe in the power and potential of local churches, which are strategically placed to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of children and teens. We are committed to partnering with local churches.
