Support the Global Kids Fund
Gospel Adventures™ is a program of Lutheran Hour Ministries and shows the different methods and opportunities that Christians worldwide use to share the Good News.
How can you make an impact on kids around the world?
A main feature of Gospel Adventures is the opportunity for kids in the United States to help raise funds that directly support children in other regions all over the globe. Since 2012, kid donors have given around $250,000 to support Lutheran Hour Ministries’ Global Kids Fund that supports kid-centered ministry efforts in countries around the world.
What can YOU do to share the Gospel in India?
One of the ways LHM—India reaches out to individuals is by focusing on the spiritual needs of the younger generation. Therefore, they have created several youth clubs in many parts of the country. Through participating in these clubs, youths are encouraged to follow the following four goals in their lives.
- Create an environment of unity
- Self-development through education
- Keeping their village clean and green
- Social concern and serving their community
Each youth club is equipped with games and materials to help promote the four goals. You and your classroom can help support these programs by purchasing items for the youth clubs. Around $50 will supply one youth club with the following items:
- One blackboard
- One Carrom board (Indian board game)
- Chess set
- Volleyball
- Tennikoit (ring tennis)
- Badminton rackets
- Badminton net
- Badminton cork

How Children Have Supported LHM’s Mission
The students at Child of God Lutheran School in St. Peters, Missouri, participated in Gospel Adventures as part of National Lutheran Schools Week in January. The Global Kids Fund was selected to receive the students’ chapel offering for the week.
Students in grades K through 6 at Christ Community Lutheran School in Watertown, Minnesota, also participated in Gospel Adventures: Zambia Bound during National Lutheran Schools Week. The students in Wendy Schilling’s classes, grades 3 and 4, raised money for the Global Kids Fund. “I printed off the banks to color, then I sent them home with the goal of each child bringing five dollars to purchase a backpack for a child in need,” says Schilling.
