LeadaChild's ministry began over 50 years ago when the Jim & Edie Jorns family moved from Kansas to a whole new world in Guatemala to serve as agricultural missionaries. Little did they know that the Lord would break their hearts for children who had no hope because they couldn't afford to go to school. What started with one child being given the opportunity for an education has now become thousands of children who have received a Christian education, offering hope--hope for both a temporal and eternal future.
LeadaChild provides student scholarships, teacher training, and leadership development in 17 developing nations around the world. As a partner in this ministry you are walking with us in sharing the love of Jesus with children through Christian education.
