What does Wonder Kids do?
Each mission looks different, but always has the same goal to lead children to know Jesus, to choose to follow Him, and then to live their lives for the God of Wonders. All while doing our best to equip leaders and parents to continue to disciple children in a fun filled Holy Spirit adventure. We can do our ministry through one or sometimes all of these avenues below.
-
WONDER KIDS ROSHAN ENGLISH SCHOOL
In a small village in the tea gardens of India, we adopted an elementary and middle school. In a very poor and Hindu community we are seeing daily the light of Jesus in our school. Each child is left with hope for a better future.
-
KID'S CAMPS + FESTIVALS
Through a 2-7 day camp or festival we present the Gospel in a kid friendly way. Games, dancing, drama, and a powerful Holy Spirit led kid's sermon are provided each day. We then make room for Jesus to encounter and meet with the children through His love and power.
-
KID'S SCHOOL OF KIDS MINISTRY
This is a 2-4 week school where we move in with students from all generations who are passionate about Jesus and children. We train them how to have a fun filled Holy Spirit kid’s ministry all starting with their identity rooted in Jesus.
-
TRAINING
From a 1-3 day training we equip kid’s leaders, parents, and pastors with tools and impartation to lead children in a fun way to Jesus. After this training for those who are hungry to continue learning, they can join a monthly zoom training.

MISSIONS TEAMS
On some of our missions, we bring along extra friends to help with the arts, tech, building, preaching, and praying.We spend months before the mission training and equipping these missionaries.
Lauren Wiberg: Director and Kid’s Evangelist
My greatest passion is to see Jesus made famous and known to the children of every nation. One encounter with the One true God will change a life forever, and that is why I am devoted to the destinies of children and seeing them experiencing the power and love of God.
My testimony is simple in that I have loved Jesus since I was little and have never stopped. He has been faithful through every year and never ceases to amaze me! This is the dream I have for the children of the world.
I have had the honor of sharing the beautiful story of Jesus with thousands of children since 2009. I was the children’s Pastor at Victory Christian Center in Youngstown, Ohio from 2009-2016. I then transitioned to being a full time missionary for children in the fall of 2016 when I moved to Stockholm, Sweden to be a part of Mission SOS Bible School. From 2017-2021 I pioneered SOS Kids Adventure, a festival kid’s ministry where we reached over 80,000 children with the beautiful message of Jesus and trained over 800 Sunday School Teachers. In 2017 I married my best friend, Mikael, my handsome Swede and in 2020 we had our passionate beautiful boy, Elon. As SOS Kids Adventure continues to reach thousands of kids, we felt called in the beginning of 2022 for our family to start our own kid’s ministry that you are seeing today. We love to live this adventure for Jesus as a family.
In the next pages of our story, we anticipate many souls to come to know Jesus! If a child hears of the good news how much heart ache they will be saved and how many more souls will be won as they have tasted and seen that He is good! The vision God has laid upon my heart is to see kids who have never heard the Gospel to hear it, to raise up kid leaders who will lead the next generation to change the rhythm of the normal beat, and to train leaders/parents to see that there truly is no such thing as a junior Holy Spirit inside of a child.
I am honored to be a voice for a generation that is often seen as too small and wiggly to truly live a life with Jesus to the fullest.
Oh, how my eyes have seen His wonders inside of them, so now my mission stands to ignite that passion inside of them to whole heartedly pursue the God of wonders!
My favorite song will forever be the one where I declare His wonders to every tribe, tongue, and nation until the whole world knows!
Forever Dedicated to the Destinies of Children,
Lauren Wiberg
