Children of the World - a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ Australia
Purpose To equip and train God’s people to reveal Christ to children.
Vision To see every child exposed to the Gospel in a way that is age appropriate and culturally relevant.
National Team Leader Graham Mc Donald
Duties
To recruit, train, equip and encourage people to be effective communicators of the Word of God to children.
Children in our society have no voice and are subjected to a barrage of wrong information that often has it genesis in the home (there is no God) and is perpetuated through our secular school system.
The Lord’s people have the answers and can offer children alternatives.

Evangelism Explosion International
Kids’ EE Director, Oceania: Virginia Woodward
I co-ordinate the Kids’ EE ministry for Australasia and the Pacific training children’s ministry leaders to use the Kids’ EE materials. The new Hope for Kids materials are designed to give children a very clear understanding of the Gospel, enabling them to make a decision for Christ and also to know how to share their faith.
My passion is to see children won for Christ at the time in their lives when they are most ready to receive the Gospel and that their own lives are not only impacted forever, but that they grow up to be followers of Jesus who know how to lead others to him too.

Quiz Worx.
Quiz Worx is a team of young people who present the good news of Jesus Christ in a fun, exciting and innovative way to children. We perform fun, exciting and creative shows in schools, churches, fetes, Outreach nights, etc… telling kids the good news of Jesus. We also create resources- Music, film clips, lessons, puppets and puppet theatres- for use by those working with children in their local contexts. We run various training seminars in creative kids ministry.
We want to see as many kids as possible hearing the good news that they can be friends with God through trusting in Jesus. Our hope and prayer is that many of these kids will respond to Jesus now and live a life of following him into eternity. For those who don’t respond now, we want them to be able to recall what they have heard later in life, and, God willing, respond to Him then.
