Our primary-aged kids have been making things and planning stalls, and they'd love you to come along. The One Kids Missions Market is their chance to put faith into action, not just learn about it. Every dollar raised goes to Anjali, the child we sponsor through Compassion, and to the Smart Point Project kindergarten in Wado, West Java, through One Care.

It's more than a fundraiser. It's our kids discovering that their ideas, creativity and kindness can genuinely change someone's life. Come, buy something, and cheer them on. Small hands, big impact.
