Do they always "fit" in other settings?The Value of Partnership in Children's Ministry1 October 2008 — Our strong connection to the churches in our host countries makes us an ideal partner for other organizations that offer specialized services, but might not always have the necessary contacts and relationships that are needed to make a long-term impact.Crucial Moments6 June 2008 — Crucial means “extremely significant or important, decisive”. This is why we call SIM’s network of children’s ministries “CrucialMoments”.

By the year 2050, it is estimated there will be 12 billion people in the world—8 billion of whom will be children, youth, and young adults. These are statistics Hannelore Zimmermann knows well. She has been active in children’s ministry since she was 13, and today she trains children’s workers in the highlands of Peru. Hannelore reminds us, “If we reach the children of today, we can change the world of tomorrow.”
