Changers Kids

KentuckyWMU takes the safety of its event participants, especially those under 18, seriously.  Every KentuckyWMU Volunteer will have background checks on behalf of KetuckyWMU.  All adult participants are required to provide written proof of background check prior to event admittance.  Those with no written proof, will not be able to participate.  

Group leaders can find the attestation form Here.

Changers Kids is a hands-on missions experience for children who have completed grades 4-6 and their leaders. Through mission projects and prayer walking children will learn skills that will prepare them for future mission trips. Kids who participate in the full weekend trip will have even more experiences like camping out on a church gym floor, and using a shower trailer, that prepare them for future mission trips and even our Student Changers Program.  In each of these events, children are challenged to share the gospel in their everyday lives. 

Mission projects will include experiences like cleaning and gardening at ministry sites, preparing meals for those in need, sorting clothes, and sharing Jesus at community centers.

Children and their church leaders will be assigned to teams. Each team will serve together at their assigned ministry site. More than one church will be assigned to serve at each site.

Additional Changers Kids Features:

• Interaction with a missionary
• Bible Study
• Worship
• Quiet Time
• Special Interest Tracks

Girls and boys who have completed grades 4-6 and their church leaders/ parents may attend. 

Leaders must be 21 years of age or older and a member of the sending church. 

Children and adults need to be willing to work and serve. 

Kids and leaders will be expected to be “fluid” just like all missionaries.

Church leaders must:

• · Be 21 years of age or older
• · Pass a background check conducted by the sponsoring church

Church chaperones are expected to supervise their church kids. This includes all daily activities as well as staying with their children through the night for overnight events.
