BGMC Launches Web Site for Kids
After hundreds of hours of design, field study, and development, the national BGMC office has recently launched a new kids' Web site packed with fun, intrigue, and resources that challenge kids to reach their world (where they live) and the world for Jesus!
"BGMCKids is a powerful teaching tool that can be used at home and in churches with Internet access," says Marshall Bruner, national BGMC office. "It's colorful. It's full of graphics. It offers online and downloadable games. It has information and stories from kids and missionaries around the world. And it's full of resources that challenge kids to grow spiritually and to get more involved in missions."
Bruner says BGMCKids enables kids to do virtual "world travels" by discovering videos, photos, maps, flags, stats, stories, and reports about other nations and world ministries via the Internet. Also, the Web site enables kids to share with other kids what they are doing for BGMC and missions.
The theme running throughout BGMCKids is "Pray, Give, Go!" The home page has five top navigational buttons that lead kids to resources about "What is BGMC," "Just Pray It" (how to pray), "Just Fill It" (how to give), "Just Share It" (how to go and be involved in the Great Commission), and "Just See It" (videos and audio stories).
Other resources the Web site offers are:
- "Wacky Games"-online digital games for early elementary and upper elementary kids
- "Fun Stuff"-humor and downloadable games
- "Kid Power"-enables kids to share what they are personally doing for missions and letters from missionary kids worldwide
- "True Missions Stories"-missionary stories and a featured audio True Missions Story
- "Buddy Around the World"-global reports and thank-you letters from missionaries
- "Passport"-enables kids to do virtual "world travel" and to learn about other countries and missions works
- "Where BGMC Goes"-current ways BGMC funds are being used and features countries and our missionary works by region
- "Have Faith"-devotionals for kids and articles of how kids are practicing their faith through BGMC
