Keeping Kids Connected in Deployed Military Families with Mitchell Aguirre S4 #117

In this episode, learn about the war being waged on our children. They are being negatively influenced in school, at home, and on the internet. This is especially true of the 1,200,000 million military children of active-duty members worldwide and the nearly 2 million “total-force dependent children.” Military children struggle with 3 things: depression, loneliness, and bullying.  

My guest is Mitchell Aguirre, the founder of a unique approach to changing these statistics. Mitch founded the Keeping Kids Connected ministry as the nonprofit arm of Adventures Of, his for-profit company that helps adults stay connected to kids long-distance.

Their initial campaign is targeting 840,000 military kids between the ages of 3 – 11. They use personalized and customized adventure stories where a child and parent become the main characters. Instead of the child receiving a complete book at one time, they receive one chapter every three weeks for an entire year.

The Christian-themed stories teach kids godly principles and lessons while experiencing adventures, challenges, and fun. This brings them closer to their parent and Jesus Christ.
