A chance for every child to know God’s love… in school!
There is an all-out battle for the hearts and minds of young people. Every day, children are being shaped—by voices, values, and influences that often pull them away from truth, hope, and purpose. The question is not whether children are being discipled, but by whom.
In The Gap exists because we believe the Church must step into this moment with clarity and courage. Our mission is to unite the Body of Christ to ensure that every child has an opportunity to hear the gospel and be discipled in God’s ways. We partner with local churches and like-minded ministries to collectively reach children with Bible-centered teaching—meeting them where they are and planting seeds of truth while hearts are still open and receptive.
This is a mission field we can’t afford to ignore!
Research shows that 50% of a child’s belief system is established by age 6, and 90% is established by the time a child turns 13 years old. Now is the time to advance and impact this generation for Christ! Since approximately 75% of children do not attend church on a regular basis, we cannot wait for children to come to us. We must bring the gospel to them.
“In The Gap started a Bible Club at my school to teach us about Jesus–who He was, what He did, and why He’s worth it. I had no idea the importance or impact that this Bible Club was going to have on my life. After I gave my life to Christ, I realized how much of a difference this was going to be in my life, for the rest of my life.” ~Ryan, former Bible Club Student
Join us for Operation Impact 2026!
June 8th-27th
Operation Impact is a high-intensity, life-changing summer missions experience for Christian students ages 14 and up who want to step out of the stands and into the mission of God.
This isn’t just about learning how to teach a lesson.
It’s about becoming the kind of leader who carries the gospel with courage, clarity, and compassion.

Operation Impact taught me the importance of complete dependence on God. Countless times, when my own grit and determination failed, God provided me with the strength to press onward. Indeed, I have found that God often uses us when we are at our lowest to do His most...

BIBLE CLUBS STARTED TODAY!! We had over 170 children attend 22 different Bible Clubs today! What a joy it was for the summer missionaries to put their training into practice and teach the children an account from the Bible, a memory verse, a song, and begin telling them the story of missionary Lillian Trasher.
It was an energizing day — seeing God work in the weather, the schedule, the spiritual conversations, and so much more!

This morning, Sam spoke on the Separation Worldview and the Connection Worldview. Through this study, we continued to see that what we believe about God determines how we view ourselves, the world, and those around us.
A wrong view of God causes us to live in scarcity and fear — pulling back from those around us. While an accurate view of God causes us to live in abundance and freedom — knowing His love personally which enables us to give it away freely.

This morning, 12 teams headed out to 24 different apartment complexes & neighborhoods to invite families to send their kids to Bible Club next week! Please pray for protection, open doors, soft hearts — and for many children to sign up!

One of the biggest milestones of training week: THE 5-MINUTE SPEECH!
The summer missionaries did a great job pushing through their fear and presenting a speeches in front of their fellow teammates! It was fun to hear a variety of different topics from personal salvation testimonies and lessons learned to hobbies such as American sign-language, umpiring for baseball, and raising chickens.

This morning, Laura continued helping us dig deeper into what we really believe about God. We were confronted with the sobering reality that so many believers live in bondage & fear — simply because we do not truly believe God is Who He says He is.
If Jesus is the King of kings, He is victorious over all sin, spiritual powers, fear, and death. But we often don`t believe and behave like that is the true reality!
Laura challenged us to view every fear and temptation as it actually is: an opportunity to learn and experience the attributes of God.

Our summer missionaries have had a VERY full 4 days here!
They started with some fun team-building icebreaker activities on the first night, then jumped right into intense training! Students in Basic Level have already completed 2 big milestones:
- Sharing the Gospel evaluation
- a 5-minute public speaking evaluation
Right now they`re working on learning their missionary story and practicing how to retell it in a dynamic, exciting way!

We are so grateful for this incredible group of dedicated discipleship coaches and team leaders who have volunteered 3 weeks of their summer to come and invest in the summer missionaries during Operation Impact!
Please pray for wisdom, strength, and vision for them as they support and lead the summer missionaries the next couple of weeks.

This morning, Laura helped us dive in deeper to expose how what we "know" is true about God often differs from what we truly BELIEVE about God.
What we actually believe about God is revealed in our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
She challenged us with the question: "Do we make ourselves the exception to what God says about Himself?"
- We know God is love, but do we believe He loves *me*?
- We know God provides, but do we believe He provides for *me*?
- We know God answers prayer, do we believe He answers *my* prayers?
The way we view God impacts everything we do, every day.

Chad laid the foundation for our theme "Behold Our God" by highlighting an unexpected area that hinders us from recognizing God in our lives: our lack of gratefulness.
"The more you start looking, the more you’re going to start to see. If you focus on problems, the more problems you`re going to see. You find whatever you’re looking for."
"If I cannot choose to give thanks when things are hard, I end up griping even when things are good. Choosing to give thanks, even when it’s hard — it`s a sacrifice that honors God."

Operation Impact 2026 launched TODAY! 64 students & staff traveled in, enjoyed getting to know their fellow summer missionaries, and went through orientation to prepare them for the next 3 weeks.
Please pray for this group as they begin training tomorrow — jumping right in with how to share the Gospel with children! They`ll also be stretched in their communication and leadership skills through lots of hands-on application.
We can`t wait to see what God is going to do in & through the lives of this incredible group of young people!
