Over the last few years, our Calling Young Disciples project has supported over 50 churches to find new ways of reaching children, young people and families in their community. We’re incredibly grateful to all who have made this project a reality and our aim is to strengthen and continue this vital ministry. We have compiled a summary of our work into this booklet: ‘Missional activities for children, young people and their families’, which is free for you to download. We hope it might inspire ministry in your church.
