Local Ministry
It is essential for youth to know how to impact their local communities for Christ through the local church and other organizations. To do this effectively requires training, practical knowledge, and hands on experience. The programs at King’s Kids El Paso are designed to do all three.

Global Reach
Nations where young people from King’s Kids El Paso have served in missionary outreach. As of 2022, they have served in 105 countries.
At King’s Kids El Paso (KKEP) we believe that part of the growth of an individual includes coming into contact with other people groups from around the world. This gives not only opportunities to share the gospel with people that have never heard it before, but it has the potential of shattering our preconceived notions about ourselves, people groups, nations, and cultures. This creates an environment for youth to grow in ways they never could before. Therefore, every summer KKEP takes groups of youth to foreign countries to minister.

Cam & Laura ManginKingdom Life Training DirectorCam:
My great desire is that Christ would be made known for who He truly is. A God who loves even the worst of the worst with a powerfully unconditional Father’s love. A God who throughout the ages has been desiring His people to see that His way is the best way.
Laura:
My heart for ministry, though it has been sharpened, is the same that it was when I first saw the Lord beginning a work in my heart as a young teenager — to know and love Him, and to be a finger pointing others to the only one who can save, heal, and restore their brokenness.
