Playgrounds are more than metal or plastic.

Our mission is to create environments where kids can encounter Jesus. It may seem unlikely that a playground could accomplish such a feat, but for 25+ years we have seen the proof that it can be more than just metal and plastic.

Playgrounds communicate the value of the child and of childhood. They stand as a monument to the love that Jesus had for the children when it felt like everyone else was in conflict over their presence. By creating environments in communities, schools, orphanages, refugee camps, and churches where followers of Christ can meet kids where they are, we help our partners minister to young hearts in the season that matters most.

BENEFITS OF PLAY

Play opens doors, drops barriers, expands minds, and heals wounds. These benefits are often what is needed most in places where the brokenness of this world hits kids the hardest through child labor and exploitation, neighborhood violence and war, or the limited resources available to children living in deep poverty. By strategically integrating play into areas of need, seeds of hope take deeper root and the opportunity for genuine harvest is realized.

OPENS DOORS

In the mountains of Ecuador, where the church isn’t, playgrounds have provided church planting ministries with access to entire families through public parks where regular Bible story clubs can be held and outreach can be offered.

EXPANDS MINDS

In schools throughout Haiti, where education combats poverty, Christian teachers are leveraging the proven relationship between play and academic success by unlocking creativity, imagination, problem solving, and critical thinking.

DROPS BARRIERS

In the cities of Palestine, where trust between Muslims and Christians is rare, ministries are stepping into relationships with schools, local governments and communities by creating places where children of any faith can play together.

HEALS WOUNDS

In the refugee camps of Uganda, where countless children have been forced to flee, playgrounds have created safe places where children can experience joy and laughter and where trauma response ministries can mend broken hearts.
