What is M.A.P.S.?
M.A.P.S. stands for Missionary Adventure Prayer Squad – a kids’ program for local churches designed to connect children with real missionaries through fun, learning, and prayer. Kids learn where our missionaries serve, what they do, and how to support them spiritually. M.A.P.S. has been designed to accomplish 3 goals:
​
-
Develop Missionary Awareness – helping kids be aware of missionaries by learning their names, families, countries, and ministries
​
-
Facilitate Adventure Learning – Discover global culture, language, and daily life
​
-
Raise up the next generation of Missionaries and Missionary Partners
How does it work?
MAPS is a unique program that has your local church and the missionaries you support in mind. This curriculum and program is designed to help kids build meaningful connections with real missionaries through fun, hands-on learning, prayer, and encouragement. Each child in MAPS is matched with missionary partners and invited to complete interactive activities that help them discover who the missionaries are, where they serve, and how they can support them through prayer. Through activity journals, collectible wristbands, special events, and opportunities to meet missionaries in person, kids grow in global awareness, compassion, and a deeper love for God’s mission in the world. MAPS equips the next generation to pray boldly, give joyfully, and serve faithfully—for the sake of the Name.

How it Started:
​In late 2024, God began to stir my heart deeply for missions. But more specifically, I found myself asking: How do I, as a local church pastor, help our church truly partner with missionaries? We had a missions budget—sure. But was that all it meant to be a missions-minded church? I tried a few ideas, but nothing seemed to really move the needle. Something was missing.
