What We Do

Evangelize boys and girls, Disciple them in the Word of God, and
Establish them in a Bible believing Church.

5 Day Clubs
Good News Club
Church Partnership

The Mission 

Our mission is to mobilize the body of Christ in Southern Illinois to Adopt-A-School. To provide extraordinary opportunities for reaching the next generation with the Gospel through after school Good News Clubs® during the academic year. To train and develop Christian Youth in Action® missionaries to evangelize hundreds of community children in Southern Illinois with summer 5-Day Clubs®.

Our vision is to see all 132 public schools in Southern Illinois adopted by a local church and have a Good News Club meeting  immediately after school each week. To equip, train, and encourage volunteers. To provide evangelistic curriculum, and fruitful outreach to children in every township, village, city, or unincorporated community in the lower 19 counties of Illinois.  Our vision is to partner with local Bible-believing churches, Christian businesses and individuals to link arms in fulfilling the Great Commission to reach as many children as
possible with the Gospel before their 13th birthday!
