For generations, children of the Church of God have faithfully given to missions through Kids on a Mission and YWEA. From loose change to generous offerings, their gifts have built schools, provided meals, supported missionaries, and brought the hope of Jesus to the world.

Now it’s time for the next generation to leave their mark.

In 2026, Church of God children have a special mission: to raise $10,000 to build a brand-new playground at Linda’s Kids Academy in Kenya. More than swings and slides, this playground will be a safe place where children can play, grow, and thrive while receiving a Christ-centered education. It will be a place of joy, hope, and new beginnings.

Starting now, kids everywhere are collecting pocket change, hosting bake sales, running in Orphan Run for Hope races, and giving through offerings. Every effort will help turn this dream into reality.

On KidMission Sunday, March 8th, children across the Church of God will bring their donations to church. Together, they will prove that kids are not too small to make a big difference.
