Preschoolers
Mission Friends is the WMU organization for preschoolers, aged birth through pre-first. In Mission Friends, preschoolers begin to understand the missions concepts of praying, giving, and doing missions, and that everyone in the world needs to know about God’s love.
Mission Friends classes usually meet while adults are involved in their missions groups or other regular activities of the church.
Mission Friends can also serve as an entry point to missions, or to Christ, for parents. Leaders can help parents learn about the missionaries and missions areas their preschoolers are learning about. Leaders can also provide suggestions for activities to reinforce missions learning in the home.
