Projects Explained

BELOW ARE BRIEF DEFINITIONS OF EACH PROJECT:

Explorers Club
A thrilling partnership is forming between Evangelism Explosion, OneHope and TMC to impact the world through CHILDREN REACHING CHILDREN for Christ! EE’s passion, over the next five years, is to train 2 million children to be evangelists in 60+ countries. OneHope is donating ten evangelistic booklets to each EE child to personally share Jesus with ten of their friends. TMC’s passion is to “make disciples” of these children, many of whom live among unreached people groups! We are in the midst of partnering together to help make disciples of over 375,000 children in 13 nations through our Explorers Club lessons over the coming year. Our role will be to train thousands of Christian mentors to teach children using twelve Christ-centered Bible lessons. Imagine the world turned upside-down by child evangelists, rooted and grounded in the Word! To God be the glory! (learn more)
Funds Needed: $315,654
$20,000 matching grant!

Venture Clubs
Never have the spiritual needs in America been greater, especially in inner–city communities. Venture Clubs will utilize the time-tested Mailbox Club lessons through local churches, rather than through the mail, targeting USA children. It blends 47 years of follow-up experience with a mentoring model we’ve developed around the world through thousands of churches. These “repackaged” and colorful Mailbox Club Bible lessons, will also feature interactive questions, Scripture memory, missionary stories and a Bible reading program. We want children and young people to know what they believe, why they believe it, and to share their faith. We trust God that the engaging workbooks and activities will strengthen their faith! Your gift will help provide the “seed money” needed to redesign, print and launch the new program. Please keep up with our progress at www.ventureclubs.org and on FaceBook!
Funds Needed: $150,000
$15,000 matching grant!

Jesus Film Project
What a joy it is to be serving The Jesus Film Project with follow-up planned this year for 136,700 children in 24 nations in Latin America, Africa and Asia! Countless children view the film each year with little or no follow-up. We sense that God has brought us together with them for the salvation of millions of children, and to help establish them in Christ. (learn more)
Funds Needed: $214,500

Africa/Middle East

We plan to offer Christ–centered Bible lessons to 503,200 precious boys and girls in 36 nations in Africa and the Middle East through 20 different ministries and local churches! We are trusting the Lord for over 400,000 children to complete a course and receive a clear Gospel presentation, many for the very first time. (learn more)

Funds Needed: $535,674
$125,000 matching grant!

Muslim Children Outreach

Partnering with hundreds of local churches and a variety of children’s ministries in 18 countries, our 2012 goal – with God’s enabling – is to offer Mailbox Club Bible lessons to 211,960 children living in predominantly Muslim areas. We are trusting God for funds to print over 2 million TMC Bible lessons for these precious Muslim children for whom Jesus Christ died. Please pray for this great project to children living in the bondage of Islam.

Funds Needed: $293,000

My Hope India Outreach

We are excited about an outreach at Christmas 2012 to children in India, a nation of 1.2 billion people with only 2.2% of the population as Christians. Through generous gifts we are supplying Mailbox Club Bible lessons to 200,000 Christian families in India to minister to boys and girls right in their homes! These host families are part of a network of 18,000 evangelical churches. Each host family will be given a bound set of Explorers 1 (12 lessons, evangelism) to teach children in each neighborhood! They will be able to make as many copies of the lessons for the children.

Our goal is to reach at least 800,000 children in 12 major language groups through this thrilling outreach. The 12 lessons of Explorer’s 1 are evangelistic and will give children an opportunity to respond in simple faith to the Lord Jesus. In 2013, we hope to have 12 lessons of Explorer’s 2 for the teachers to use to help ground the children in the Scriptures! Combined, the two courses will give the host families 24 lessons, which is at least one year of teaching materials for children attending the home fellowships.

2013 Funds Needed for Explorers 2: $150,000

Web Site Development

Lessons Online
This is our "interactive" fully electronic presentation of our Bible lessons for the younger generations and those who just prefer to do everything they can from their computer! We also hope that this site will make our lessons accessable to Internet capable people all around the world! As of this time we have placed 11 of our 22 courses on this site in English only. These lessons are for ages 5 up through 13-14. This web site development project has an annual budget need of $15,000. (learn more)
