Children are often abused and kept from school in poor areas. thinkSMALL’s “Positive Parenting” workshops have helped turn this around! 

Churches in Burundi are  working with thinkSMALL to travel to cities and villages throughout the nation. People are coming to Christ faster than any time in modern history–and getting into church discipleship!

We are amazed at what God is doing in the small but wonderful nation!

 The D.R. Congo is a beautiful nation filled with incredible forests, waterfalls and wonder. The Congolese are strong, resilient and proud people. Despite difficulties, they are a joyous population. 

Most of the Congolese population is under the age of 15!

Eastern Congo is rich with precious minerals of gold, diamonds and other precious minerals. Sadly, this has encouraged many private companies and militias to cross the border to Eastern Congo to capture and sell the minerals around the world. 

Many children have been kidnapped to work in rivers and mines. Some of them are forced to join child armies. 

More than 500,000 people live in refugee camps. Many are still there from the Rwandan genocide in 1994! Nearly 5 million Congolese people are displaced.

However, the churches in the Congo are standing up! 

Churches are reaching children in the East, empowering them to resist trafficking and drugs…and bringing them to Christ.

Since 2017, 3 thinkSMALL teams have partnered with churches to achieve these results:

• The TOTAL # of salvation prayers year to date: 9,503 (2024)

We have customized our workshops, outreaches and curriculum for American churches! 

Kids in Canada and the USA are struggling with peer pressure, mixed messages from culture, temptations, drugs, sexual issues and more. Many kids are spiritually lost and vulnerable to the “enemy.” 

 It is time for the churches to develop strategies to reach children, empower children with Christ and bring hope into their communities again.

In 2021, we began rolling out the American thinkSMALL ministry to selected churches. 

Contact us if you are interested in learning more about our English language strategy for your church!

The thinkSMALL strategy is now being used by multiple churches in the Middle East. We cannot share the name of this nation due to security reasons. 

A team of local Christians are training churches to reach Christian adults to keep children safe in churches and in homes. 

Children from Christian homes are also being trained how to resist drugs, abuse and trafficking. They are discovering Jesus as their Savior for the first time…and embracing Him as their guide, friend and strength. These children will grow to become the future of the Christian community.  

Pastors are excited to see their youth teams connected to children so the future of their churches will be secure and God’s Kingdom will grow.

Most of our materials are now in Arabic language! This will open doors to many more Arab speaking nations!

Please pray for this incredible movement as it grows to touch thousands of churches and families in this critical part of the world!
