Inspiring Kids to Serve

At Lifeline, we believe that people of all ages have the ability to serve and make an impact on the world around them. Everyone. Everywhere.

That's why we believe sharing missions with kids is so important.
While much of our work extends across the globe, supporting students and schools in various countries, our commitment to inspiring service begins right here at home in the United States.

This summer, we had the privilege of seeing this mission come to life in a meaningful ways.

Camps x Lifeline  
One of the highlights was at Lake Springfield Christian Assembly in Chatham, Illinois. This camp is more than just a place for kids to spend their summer; it’s where they can encounter God in a meaningful way. This summer, the theme was "Greater," reminding everyone that God is greater than anything life might throw at us.

Anya, who served as our live-in ‘missionary’ for the week, did an incredible job helping the campers see how their faith could translate into action. During mission-time sessions, she guided the kids through lessons about Lifeline and the importance of missions. One of the most impactful moments was when the campers participated in meal packs. They didn’t just hear about helping others—they got to be part of it, packing meals that would go on to make a real difference.

 

But our efforts didn’t stop at camp.

Kids Serving at Lifeline in Your City!
We’ve been hosting "Kids Helping Kids" events at our locations across the country, and each one has brought something special. Whether it was making notecards, playing games that raise awareness about food insecurity, or enjoying a meal together, these events were all about showing kids that they’re never too young to make an impact.

And it’s been amazing to see what’s come out of these events. Many kids have come back with their families to participate in more community activities, and some have even started collecting spare change to support Lifeline’s mission. It’s these small acts of kindness that are growing into something much bigger; a movement of young people who are learning the value of compassion and giving.
