As a summer missionary, you’ll share the Good News of Jesus with kids right here in North Dakota.
You’ll start with training during the spring and early June. You’ll learn how to share the Gospel, how to teach Bible Lessons and Scripture memory verses, and how to lead songs and games for kids.
Then, over the rest of the summer, you’ll use what you’ve learned to teach kids about God. You do this in places like backyard Bible clubs, overnight camps, and other children’s ministries!

Go Training
You’ll lead backyard Bible clubs in daycares, parks, and, of course, back yards. Whether you’re in your hometown or serving somewhere else in North Dakota, teaching clubs is always fun and memorable. During clubs, you’ll share the Gospel with kids through the lessons, verses, and songs that you learned at Training. There is nothing better than listening as a child believes in Jesus for the first time.
Camp is a crazy time of canoes, songs, lessons, games, food, learning new skills, and making new friends. Adventure is a guarantee. And when you counsel the children – whether through cabin devos, deep conversations under a tree, or after chapel – you’ll see what a difference Jesus’ love can make. (Note: Summer missionaries are invited to serve in various camp staff roles based on age, level of commitment during the summer, and maturity).
