A unique web site for “Kids With a Mission” has been launched by Maranatha Volunteers International.  This mission-focused program, geared toward elementary schoolrooms, will offer materials designed to promote young people’s participation in Christian-based service and mission.  Mission stories, geographical and cultural features, and a monthly mission poster are some of the resources that teachers can access through the new site.

Established in 1969, Maranatha is a non-profit Christian organization based in Sacramento, California.  Maranatha coordinates short-term mission trips around the world, during which volunteers construct schools, clinics, churches, and other needed buildings. Maranatha, whose current membership exceeds 20,000, draws volunteers from 60 countries, and all 50 of the United States. The Kids With A Mission web site can be accessed at www.kidswithamission.org.
