Kids for the Kingdom partners with the Mephibosheth
Foundation to bring job-training and skills-training programs
to youth at our programs around the world. In recent years
job-training centers have been established and expanded in
nine countries.
Children in Kids
for the Kingdom schools, orphanages, feeding
programs, and Bible Clubs will eventually grow to become adults
and will need a viable job skill to support themselves. Kids
for the Kingdom develops new job programs, identifies
national workers to run the programs, and purchases facilities,
tools, equipments, and materials.

| Our long-term feeding programs, orphanages,
Christian schools, Bible Clubs, medical clinics, youth job-training
centers, micro-credit, and outreach projects are all designed
to rescue children from desperate circumstances, disciple them
in the Christian faith, and equip them with job-skills and life-skills.
We prepare them to become life-changing leaders in their homes.
As the children are transformed by the Gospel they begin to
transform their family, their village, even their nation.
During 2006 a total of 1,928
teen and young adult boys and girls were in Kids
for the Kingdom-funded job-training programs.
