Missionary Kids are an important part of the world missions program of the United Pentecostal Church. We have learned that a healthy missionary family will help make an effective missionary. By implementing a program of ministry specifically to MKs, we are giving a message to missionary parents that their kids are important.

Missionary Kids Ministries (MKM) began over 10 years ago, as the Missionary Kids Association, with a vision to reach out to missionary kids (past and present) and keep them connected to each other and to their rich history and part in the Kingdom. Over the years God has continued to grow the vision and potential of this ministry and, now more than ever, we are reaching out to our MKs. We take our job seriously. We do not want one single MK to fall through the cracks of culture shock, loneliness, isolation, or re-entry into a home country. Therefore we focus on taking these amazing opportunities that missionary kids experience and help them to look at their lifestyle as an adventure. We encourage them to use the words discover and learn and to ask themselves, "What can I discover about the country I am in? or What can I learn from this experience?"

We offer MKs a sense of meaning and purpose regarding their role in the missionary family. Understanding that God's call involves the whole family, and God has placed them in their particular family for a purpose; therefore, His call includes them.

You too can help us better care for the missionaries you support by caring for their children. We trust this site will encourage you to become more involved in ministering to MKs.
