Mission Projects for Kids & Students

A fun and interactive way to pray for local and international missionaries. 

• Download missionary names from the Texas Missionary Prayer Calendar.
• Write names and locations on paper strips and stuff them in a piñata with candy.
• Blindfold players and take turns breaking the piñata. Once broken, share in a time of prayer.

Hygiene kits are a simple yet effective way to do outreach on the border. Families attending WMU Border Ministry events, health clinics, or immigration centers receive these kits free of charge.

• Collect hygiene supplies and assemble them into clear kits for distribution.
• Write an encouraging note to the recipient.
• Contact WMU of Texas Missionary Vanessa Lerma for drop-off instructions.

An engaging and interactive way to involve your students in missions work within the community. 

• Bingo Goal: Complete four squares in a row, which can be achieved vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
• Encourage Reflection: Invite your students to pause and pray before beginning each activity.
• Community Involvement: Share photos and testimonials from the students' mission experiences with your congregation during Sunday services.

Assembling care package kits for the homeless is an excellent way for children to offer comfort to those in need. 

• Collect hygiene supplies and assemble them into clear kits for distribution. The contents for each bag can vary.
• Write an encouraging note or a Bible verse to the recipient.
• Keep the kits in your car for an adult to distribute throughout their day.

Partner with your local school district, police department, fire department, or a nearby nonprofit to identify families in your community who need essential home supplies or holiday gifts.

After identifying one or more families, assemble a Family Care Package for each household.

Finally, either invite the families to a central location for pick-up or visit their homes (with your partner organization) to deliver the supplies directly.

Along the Texas-Mexico border, families require various essential supplies. These include food, sports equipment, medical supplies, baby items, Christmas gifts, bedding, apparel, hygiene kits, and more (see the complete list below).

For delivery instructions, contact WMU of Texas Missionary Vanessa Lerma at (956) 279-5515 or vanessa.wmutx[at]txb.org.
