Open Doors Sunday
Open Doors Sunday Kids is designed to introduce the concept of persecution to children between the ages of 5 and 12. The program has four distinct sections, each designed to introduce children to an aspect of faith. If played from start to finish, Open Doors Sunday Kids, will run for around 15 minutes, however we would encourage you to pause the program to complete the activities that are introduced (video time-codes are provided below the video).
