Over the past five years, the MK Program at the BBFI Mission Office has expanded its ministry to encompass not only BBFI MKs, but also to children attending BBFI churches inside the United States. Programs have been developed that are intended to educate and challenge children to begin thinking about missions in their own backyard producing seeds that may one day grow into a call to go into all the world and preach the gospel.

We offer two opportunities for churches to pick from based upon their specific needs:

Kidz4Missionz is a 10-week missions curriculum which is sold as a basic or premium kit to churches/missionaries for use within their children’s programs lasting typically one hour in length. You can see more about what so many churches have gotten excited about at kids.bbfimissions.com!

Kidz4Mkz is a free resource for churches to use during short segments of time within existing children’s programs such as a missions moment or VBS offering time for children.  Resources included are MK videos and Collector Cards from past Kidz4Missionz curriculums. When offerings are sent into the Mission Office, we can in turn provide birthday money, purchase musical instruments or sports equipment, or other tools for MKs to use in their own ministry. We are also able to give a donation towards a mission trip when an MK would like to serve short term in another country.

Parents of our MKs often convey how much they appreciate all that we do for their children.  From the day they are welcomed into the BBFI family until long after they have transitioned to the US after high school, parents are moved at the compassion and interest which their children experience being a missionary kid through BBFI.

 From MKs:

“Thank you so much for your generous gift towards my new keyboard! It is greatly appreciated and I know that I will use it a lot in Haiti.  You guys are such a blessing!”

“Thank you for my birthday money. It means a lot to me that you would think of me and be so generous. I’m really excited to spend it!”

From Parents:

“You guys take such good care of MKs! Thank you for remembering our daughter’s birthday and sending a money gift!  Thank you so much!”

“Thank you for the awesome gift for our son!”

From Churches:

“Our kids (after their weeklong VBS) were excited about helping other kids far from home.”

“The children are so excited and LOVED all of it! What a blessing!”

In one church, the children and adults truly enjoyed learning about each country and our BBFI missionaries there.  Excitement grew each week and a love for others in their local town and around the world developed as one young lady led her friend to Christ during the series!  This church truly caught the vision as they are praying that one day one of their kids will surrender to the mission field.

We encourage all churches to consider regularly supporting the MK Program and/or implementing either the Kidz4Missionz curriculum or Kidz4Mkz short MK video series in support of BBFI MKs around the world. To learn more about each of these opportunities, contact Jill in the Mission Office.
