It all starts with a STORY
Beginning with a StoryClub, led by pastors and leaders who are trained to use the KIDStory methodology, kids gather weekly in clubs to learn and grow in the Word of God in a fun, interactive, Spirit-filled way. Here, we begin to see hearts and lives transformed.
As StoryClubs grow, we gain the opportunity to serve physical and social needs through FOOD and PLAY. Children receive nutritious meals lovingly packed and playgrounds joyfully built – all by incredible teams of volunteers!
By providing physical nourishment, spaces for joy, and the hope of God’s Good News, we see children thrive, families strengthened, communities invigorated and churches grow. Â
FOOD, PLAY, STORY. An approach that witnesses hope-filled, transformed lives across global communities. Â
Empowered, hope-filled transformation comes from partnering with YOU!
Our Hope Zones Communities are supported through a one-to-one model, connecting a U.S.-based group with one of our global communities. Friends, partners, and volunteers in the U.S. nurture a specific community by making impact through FOOD, PLAY, STORY. Â

Our Hope Zone Communities
Many poor communities in rural areas have no Gospel outreach or ministry to children. In these regions, children often grow up without access to the hope and love that a relationship with God brings. We are eager to change this reality by bringing God’s hope to the hurting throughout the Dominican Republic. Through our programs, we establish spaces that provide spiritual nourishment and discipleship for children who might otherwise never encounter the Gospel.
Hope Zones in small coastal towns and villages are thriving through FOOD, PLAY, STORY. In these remote areas of Ecuador, the message of hope and redemption is taking root, bringing about meaningful change in the lives of children and families. We are committed to nurturing this growth and empowering local churches to be beacons of light in their communities. As these villages embrace God’s Good News, they experience spiritual renewal and positive transformation that strengthens the entire community.
Uprooted from their homes from war and unrest, refugee children in Uganda carry the heavy burden of trauma and uncertainty. Yet, they also hold the potential for transforming healing and hope. We recognize the unique challenges these children face and are dedicated to providing God’s love through FOOD, PLAY & STORY. We create safe environments where they can simply be kids; nurturing their emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being and creating a sense of normalcy, helping these young refugees reclaim their childhood and build a foundation for a brighter future.
Panama is a country of striking contrasts, where breathtaking landscapes stand alongside communities struggling with poverty. In our newly established Hope Zones, we work to bring hope and transformation to children and families facing the daily challenges of hunger, lack of resources, and barriers in hearing God’s Word and experiencing His love. Through FOOD, PLAY and STORY, we’re helping create safe spaces where kids can thrive and families can see a brighter future. By partnering with local pastors and leaders, we’re reviving churches and addressing poverty’s impact head-on to ignite lasting change in Panama’s most vulnerable communities.
7800+ kids in 95 communities, and growing!
