Our Mission

The mission of Operation Kid Net is kids reaching kids for Jesus…friendship evangelism. We believe that kids are an important part of the net that God wants to use to reach their friends. It’s amazing to see what happens when churches ignite a passion for the lost in their kids. They are setting a miracle in motion, launching their kids on one of the greatest adventures of their life. Operation Kid Net provides resources to local churches that inspire and equip kids to reach their world.

Inside the Training Pack

Great Tools that Equip Kids: A good fisherman carries lures and bait in a handy tackle box because he loves to catch fish. Tackle Box Stories are just one of many tools that we have created to equip kids with simple messages that they can share with their friends.

Common Roadblocks to Evangelism: The Crossing Guard video helps kids identify common road blocks of sharing their faith at school. Fear and doubt are the names of two crafty characters in this short video that kids will both meet and defeat.

Teach Kids How to Fish: What does it look like when kids share their faith with their friends at school? In a short video called Light to Leo, Annie and Kelly reach out to a kid at school that everyone would rather ignore.

A New Season for Operation Kid Net

Every winter I prune the fruit trees in my back yard. I actually enjoy it. Pruning is more than just shaping a tree... it actually allows each branch that is pruned to grow stronger...to hold more fruit at harvest time. I guess the real reason I like pruning is simple-I like fruit. Here at Operation Kid Net we're pruning some branches. We're cutting back so we can grow stronger, praying, dreaming, rethinking and seeking His direction for the season ahead. We've reduced the cost of the training pack and created a new home page, a simple version of our previous one.

Since 2002 Operation Kid Net has helped hundreds of local churches across the country and around the world equip and inspire kids and adults to share their faith with others. Our vision of "Kids Reaching Kids" came out of our local church here in Gresham and has been supported through the years with grants, donations and support from the national foursquare church.

Thanks for all your support throughout all the years.

Stretching the Net for Jesus,
