JIM ROSENE
PRESIDENT OF KIDS AROUND THE WORLD
ROCKFORD, IL

Kids Around the World provided the first short term missionary trip from within our church in 2006. It was through this trip that we have partnered with a church in Guatemala.

The focus of Kids Around the World is building playgrounds in needy areas. They connect the playgrounds with local churches and train the nationals how to use the provided materials for the children such as flannel graphs. Jim has traveled to over 30 countries for training people for 2-3 weeks at a time and then keeps in contact with them to encourage and help them.
