Global Missions Podcast

In this episode of the Global Missions Podcast, Mags talks with Jaci Hutchcraft and Jayne Russell Olson about the heart behind Kids’ Kairos, a brand-new missions curriculum designed to help churches disciple children into God’s global story. They share the vision, the journey behind creating it, and why they’re hopeful about welcoming the next generation into the Great Commission.
