Outreach and Missions

Children in Action is a Southern Baptist Ministry website that gives their Children's Ministries a place to share their outreach and service projects.

This is the outreach site of Vanguard University of Southern California. This is just a fairly exhaustive and impressive list of ways that believers can give to their community. Not neccessarily for children or by children unless they're with their grown-ups, but worth perusing.

This is the book I gave my sister for Christmas. She's been involved in various overseas mission opportunities over the years. The World's Most Dangerous Places, isn't a Christian book, per se, but it looks at situations in other countries through the eyes of locals rather than through the eyes of the media. If you have an older youth group or young adult group or anyone for that matter praying for people or places you might find this a useful resource.

This is just an interesting Emerging blog with learning party resources. Included is a link to the Praxis Center. It's a business but the concept is interesting. If you explore their course offerings they have some affiliation with Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, CA/Seattle WA and Mars Hill Gradute School in Seattle. I don't know anything about their theology but you might find some resources and ideas to play with.

Individual denominations also have resources for missions and outreach. You might find it interesting to check out denominational websites other than the ones you're already familiar with.

You're welcome to add sites here, if you want.
