Activities & Mission
We help children and young people explore the Bible, respond to Jesus and grow in faith. We make Jesus known through our work in communities, schools, holidays and missions. Through publishing, using print and digital media, we aim to inspire leaders to make disciples of children and young people with our resources and to equip Christians to grow in discipleship with Bible guides and publications.
