Children's Ministries
Global Adventures
​
Global Adventures is the children's mission education program where children are encouraged to participate in both local and global mission projects. Children in elementary school may participate in a Global Adventures program once a week or several times during the year as designated by the children's ministry coordinator as part of the local church's children's ministry such as children's church, Sunday school or week-day club programs.
Kids Care: Canadian Baptist Ministries' "Kids Care" resource is designed for children ages 5-10.
​
The 2023 Kids Care is Peacemakers, a five-lesson children’s resource on what it means to be peacemakers from a biblical perspective. Kids will explore forgiveness, praying for people who have been hurtful, refusing retaliation, and how to help resolve conflicts peacefully. The curriculum includes fun activities, crafts and games, Bible lessons, stories and fundraising suggestions.
​
"Global Adventures with Paul the Missionary Bear" is a resource for children printed each month in Tidings Magazine.

2024 Children's Mission Action Project:
Caring for Kids
in the DR
​
Are you looking for a project that will encourage the children and youth of your church and community to be aware of the needs of people globally? Are you ready to engage the children and youth of your church and community to help others in a practical way? This project is for you!
​
In the Dominican Republic, CBM's Baptist partner, IBAREDO is impacting the lives of children and youth in 3 different cities through teaching skills (such as learning English, learning to play a musical instrument, hair dressing, etc.), assistance with school work and school supplies, and helping to improve health habits through education and a once-a-year medical consultation. This ministry also involves Bible studies for the children and youth, as well as an annual summer camp that takes place in July where children and youth from all three regions can gather together to fellowship, participate in fun activities, and grow in their faith.

Stories and activities from the Canadian Baptist Ministries children's mission education resources, "Kids Care," and the monthly "Global Adventures" Tidings Magazine article (pages 8 and 9) can be adapted for older pre-school children.
