The Grumpy Owl Cover
New for 2023 we're thrilled to introduce The Grumpy Owl and the Joy of Christmas! Follow the story of a very grumpy owl who leaves his barn in search of some peace and quiet, but when he returns he finds a dazzling surprise. In this fun and beautiful book, children will find the story of the nativity as it unfolds in the not-so-grumpy barn of the not-so-grumpy-anymore owl!

Thank you!

We're passionate about supporting the local church in revealing Jesus to the 95% of children and young people who don't go to church, and we are so thankful for how you continue to support us in that vision! 

Your prayers and gifts make a difference in helping to share the good news of Jesus as we create opportunities for children and young people who don't go to church to explore the Bible, respond to Jesus and grow in faith.

Revealing Jesus

Revealing Jesus to the 95

It's estimated that 95% of children and young people in England and Wales aren't in church and the task of reaching them is huge! But so too is the opportunity!
