We're always looking for ways to serve the Lord together as a family and Kids Around The World is one of our favorite ministries to work with. A couple of years ago when our good friend, Paul, joined Kids Around The World, we became aware of how this ministry brings food and hope in Jesus' name to people in need around the world.
I love that the kids get to be involved in almost every aspect of this outreach and I love that a regular homeschooling day can turn into an education of the heart.

Kids Around The World builds playgrounds and distributes food as they share the gospel in desperate places. The ministry touches lives in many ways through the food packing events here in the US that open the eyes of those serving, through the short term mission trip opportunities, and most importantly through the sharing of the gospel as tangible and spiritual needs are met worldwide.

"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you,
as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’"
Matthew 25:37-40
