Basis for Children in Action The foundation of Children in Action is the meetings. Here, children journey together as they learn about and do missions with their peers. The yearly curriculum is designed to give children a broad view of how God is working through missions around the world. Children discover a variety of missions needs and ministries. They participate in projects that make a difference in their communities and around the world.

The Children in Action vest has been updated to include Missions Expedition badges. We are adding two new badges to the front… Missions Expedition and the memory verse badge.

Across the top of the back of the vest, we recommend that the growth area badges are placed. These badges (Pray, Give, Grow, Care, Do, Learn, Keep) coordinate with the growth areas that children can work in each year. The bottom half of the vest is reserved for group or individual projects including: Pure Water, Pure Love, Pen Pals, Technology, Project Help, World Crafts, Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, and more. Stars can also be used with project badges as well.
