Reach Every Child, Transform Every Community
Feed, Evangelize, Disciple at-risk children around the world
We are committed to the Great Commission.
We declare the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We are passionate about sharing the love of Christ with at-risk children.
We joyfully collaborate with like-minded Christians at home and around the world.
We depend on God who gives generously to all.
We honor God by placing service above self.
We strive for excellence in everything we do.
For over 52 years, Mission to Children has been a bulwark against both physical and spiritual famine, reaching vulnerable children around the globe. We don’t just feed; we evangelize and disciple, partnering with Christian locals who share our vision.
Reverend J.D. Carlson set out on his first overseas visit. It changed his life, and the lives of thousands more. Shocked by the poverty he encountered, he started Mission to Children to help these vulnerable children.
Dr. James Cunningham became the next Executive Director after J.D. Carlson's passing. The ministry sustained it’s increasing reputation for high integrity and faithful service.
Dr. Skip Garmo further developed the Bible-based ministry of Mission to Children by focusing on educational training programs that brought in new ministry opportunities.

Mercy comes from a Malawi village. She is 9 years old. She belongs to Anglican church. She likes going to church every Sunday. However, their church does not have children ministry and therefore, they stay in church for a few hours then she and her friend go out to play until the adults are finished in the service. She says this gathering of children was the first in their area. She said children were taken care of well. They ate, played netball, sang choruses and enjoyed the Bible lessons
