Mission Statement 

Transforming children in Christ through His Church

History 

After serving for ten years as the children’s pastor in two large, southern California churches, Daniel Watts was called by God to start ministering in Poland. He moved there with his wife and three-year-old daughter and soon received invitations from churches to teach about God’s heart for children and how to develop effective ministry. In response, Every Generation Ministries was founded in 1993 and  began working with churches in Poland.

The ministry developed innovative leadership-development training programs and high-quality Bible teaching resources. A strong, national Board of Directors oversaw and governed the ministry. In 1997, a Polish director was appointed to lead that growing ministry while Daniel launched new ministries in Belarus, Hungary and Romania. Our new ministries began equipping local churches children’s workers for fruitful ministry with children, as was done in Poland. God brought additional staff to EGM and in 2002 our first office was opened in the United States. With a great track record in Eastern Europe, churches in South America and the Middle East asked EGM to help them in their work with children. God has recently opened the doors of opportunity in Chile and Egypt and we look forward to where God leads us next. Today EGM has forty-two staff members from six countries working with thousands of churches and teachers.  To see an historical timeline, click here.

Vision

Every Generation Ministries works with local national churches to establish ministry centers operated by national leaders. These ministry centers equip local churches, provide innovative leadership development training for children’s workers and provide needed resources for effective ministry to children and their families. Having established ministries in Belarus, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Chile and Egypt EGM is moving forward to launch new ministries in South America, Central Asia and the Middle East.
