Why Mission Clubs Exists

We exist to make disciples.

Through a faith-based extension of the Boys & Girls Club model in Panama, children receive academic support, mentorship, and a safe place to grow.

And at the center of it all is discipleship.

What started small is growing.

What began as one Mission Club now serves over 200 children daily, with a second location underway.

And the vision is bigger than that.

A Movement Across Panama

Mission Clubs is growing across Panama with the goal of reaching more children, more families, and more communities. One child, one relationship, one story at a time.
