A must-have for every missions-minded leader who works with students. It’s chock-full of hands-on ministry ideas, including tips for planning a missions trip.
Christ Followers curriculum
The “Christ Followers” series, based on the Book of Acts, helps small groups within churches to increase biblical and missional understanding of their responsibility and opportunities for sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. Participants of all ages, from preschoolers to adults, gain a more thorough knowledge of the contemporary world while discovering how to develop a Christ-like response to meeting human needs through missions. Christ Followers also explores what believers are doing to share the love of Christ around the world. Available as digital downloads.
Connections: A Daily Prayer Journal for Students

Do This and Live
Written by Kym Mitchell and Suzanne Reece, this interactive book for teenage girls is designed to engage the reader in a journey of exploration toward understanding and using the gifts God has given them, while moving them toward fulfilling their God-given purpose.
Making it in the Real World Reality Game of Life and Poverty
A poverty experience built on a life-size game board, similar to a game of Life or Monopoly, on an exclusive CD with instructions, layout, family situations, game board pieces, debriefing questions, bucks and a resource bibliography.
MissionsQuest curriculum
