Thank you for your interest in the God and Country program.
     
    This Start-up Kit will help you become familiar with the God and Country Series and present options to you so that you can be intentional as you adapt the program for your situation. It is critical that God and Country be transformed from a “program” into a “ministry.”  A wealth of information is available to you, but don’t forget that P.R.A.Y. is only a phone call away. Give us a call on our toll free number 1-800-933-7729 and we would be glad to answer your questions or brainstorm with you. We are here to support you.

    Thank you for your ministry with children and youth!
