I set out to see who is blogging about Christian child missions. What missionary bloggers are working with children, and what do they have to say? I'm happy to say that there are missionary blogs out there about children. Here are just a couple of examples...
The Rothchilds (Nigeria)
Not only do the Rothchilds have a blog, they also have an excellent website. There at therothchilds.org, they write that they are "Sharing the love of Jesus Christ with street children in Nigeria". An unbelievable 42% of the population of Nigeria is age 14 or younger. Part of the ministry of the Rothchilds involves Gidan Bege (House of Hope), in the city of Jos. Gidan Bege does a lot of urban ministry, including providing meals for children and helping some get off the street. Christian child missions like these are able to show the love of Christ in many practical ways. You can read more about the unique Christian child missions of Gidan Bege here. While you're at the Rothchild's site, check out their video, which will give you a good idea of what they're involved in.
If you're interested in christian child missions, you might also be interested in the Stout family in Bangladesh. Kevin Stout does a lot of travelling outside of Bangladesh as well, helping with the missionary sponsor work of Compassion. (Kevin has been blogging since January 2004, but had to restart his blog in 2006 due to server problems)

Cathy Bushnell (Africa)
Cathy is involved in multiplying children's workers in Africa. Here's what her site says: Currently, most of my efforts focus upon evaluating the spiritual and educational health of our existing schools and study centers, training staff, and creating curriculum. In the future, I will work alongside local churches to open new Child Care sites and, with the help of short-term teams from the USA, begin long-term teacher training courses.
Started in 2006, Cathy's blog is updated regularly. Find it by visiting her website here:
