At thinkSMALL, we see the God-given potential and future impact of every child—protecting them and reaching them for Christ, one child, one church, one nation at a time.
In His name the nations will put their hope.
Matthew 12:21
We are reaching children for Christ to transform nations, and God is using the very dangers they face to open the door.
Trafficking, abuse and drugs threaten children everywhere. When local churches rise up to defend them, communities open their doors. Children hear that Jesus loves them.
What is meant for evil, God turns to good.
Partner With Us“Defend the weak and the fatherless.” Local churches are trained to protect children from trafficking, abuse and drugs.
85% of people who become Christians do so before age 15. Communities welcome the churches that protect their children. Children hear the gospel and are discipled in local churches.
Local teams, local churches and partners like you, joining forces to save the future of the nations.
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
Genesis 50:20
To God be the glory!
