Raising up young missionaries through praying, giving, and going.
“BGMC is the AG missions program for kids that instills a heart of compassion to reach the lost through praying, giving, and going. All funds raised through BGMC go to meet critical needs around the world such as feeding programs, water wells, Bible schools, curriculum, and whatever else a missionary needs in their part of the world.”
Did you know? Among the Assemblies of God Missionaries, most were initially called to be missionaries while they were children!
BGMC empowers children to impact global missions through:
- Prayer for missionaries and nations
- Financial giving through Buddy Barrels
- Hands-on mission experiences

Join us in equipping kids to become passionate missionaries who transform lives through prayer, generosity, and hands-on service around the world.
BGMC In Action
Upcoming Events: Join the Mission Movement
Each year our directors invite pastors and leaders throughout the District to join them for the NextGen Missions Tour. Here, we’re celebrating what God is doing through Speed the Light and BGMC – as well as sharing vision and passion for what lies ahead through NextGen Missions. This event is open to pastors and ministry leaders across departments. Please be prepared to share your BGMC and Speed the Light partnership/giving goals for 2025. We can’t wait to celebrate together!

One Month For Every Kid, Leader, And Person To Raise $100
One Day
To Give What You’ve Raised On October 5th
One Million Dollars
To Meet Critical Needs Around Whe World
During the month of September, we’re challenging every boy, girl, KidMin leader, and anyone who’d like to participate to raise $100. Kids can do chores, yard sales, lemonade stands, sell art & paintings, and any creative avenue by which they can individually raise funds. Churches can do any “a-thon” (To Be Determined), 5K or other race event, meals before or after service, or any creative avenue by which they can collectively raise funds.
One in 5,000 Club
We are challenging every child, parent, and leader in Georgia to donate $100 or more personally to BGMC to become 1 in 5,000. This exclusive club is for generous givers who go above and beyond. In a crowd of 5,000 hungry men, only ONE young person was willing to give what he had. To the crowd, that must have seemed preposterous, but to Jesus it was the perfect ingredient for the miraculous. Big needs don’t need big solutions, just big hearts. Each member will receive exclusive 1/5k merch and some special perks at GA KidMin events.
