Mission learning can begin with the very first steps of life. Preschool mission experiences introduce preschoolers (birth through kindergarten) to mission concepts and attitudes through age-appropriate learning. Using sensory experiences and creative learning activities, these young children learn about the natural world, God's love, and sharing with others.

 

 

 

Mission Friends is the church missions organization of WMU for preschoolers ages birth through prefirst. The primary objective of Mission Friends is to provide a strong foundation for preschoolers in a Christian and missions lifestyle.

Mission Friends provides developmentally appropriate missions learning experiences to help preschoolers move from a self-centered focus to a focus on others, to become aware that not everyone knows about God's love, and to understand ways they can help others know about this good news!
