WHO WE ARE
The Mailbox Club is called by God to win the children and youth of the world for Christ and help nurture them into spiritual maturity through the use of Bible Study Courses and into local Churches. We provide a Bible Study curriculum that is Christ-centred and easy-to-understand for children from as young as 4 years old.

By His grace, we are raising and preparing the next generation. The future men and women of God, by training and raising children in the Word of God.
Statistics show that 85% of all decisions for Christ are made before the age of 15. (Barna Institute)

Our Strategy
TMC recognizes that Christ’s body and strategy for fulfilling His Great Commission consists of many different parts and Ministries. Not one Calling or Gifting is the same and there’s room and need for all. Our strategy for ministry is based on Colossians 1:28 “Him we preach, warning every man (child), teaching every man (man) in all wisdom, presenting every man (child) perfect in Christ”
We strive to involve and unite as many like-minded role-players as possible to reach the millions of children with the saving message of Jesus Christ.
We support our Partners with Training, Materials and Monitoring all processes.
We focus primarily on children in the 4-14 year age group
We market TMC’s Bible Study materials as a curriculum of 5 to 7 years.
We encourage Club Leaders to facilitate Community based Activities as suggested for every Lesson Course.
We identify and mentor Young Leaders to commit to a life of Ministry.
We mobilize all role-players to participate in a weekly Prayer Group for the children of African Countries.
We continuously renew materials and methods to keep abreast of the ever changing world our children live in.
