As the hearts of children are transformed by this hope, they MULTIPLY IMPACT to their friends, family and local communities, and are raised up as young leaders who will CREATE ENVIRONMENTS within local communities where more kids can EXPERIENCE HOPE….and the multiplicity of Hope continues!Strategy:Through our outreach programs; KIDStory Clubs, OneMeal & Playgrounds, we continue to create environments throughout the developing world where impoverished, displaced, or traumatized children receive nutritious food on a regular basis, experience the joy and profound benefits of play on a playground, and hear and learn about the love of God through the stories of the Bible.Kids gather in these environments daily or weekly to receive a warm meal, to play together, and to be a part of a KIDStory Club; Experiencing Hope, Building Relationship with Jesus and others, and growing to Multiply Impact to their own communities.
