Junior Mission for All (JMA) was created so that children would be able to learn about and support the mission of the Church in a fun, creative and engaging way.

Previously known as the Junior Missionary Association, the scheme produces materials to help children learn more about the church’s work to support the vulnerable and needy around the world and in this country.

It also rewards children who collect for JMA by presenting certificates and medals on an annual basis. The design of collecting boxes, certificates and medals have varied over the years. Further information on JMA.

Former collectors recall how JMA helped inspire them to serve overseas or to work for aid agencies when they grew up.

Some churches invite older members to wear their JMA medals on the Sunday that presentations are to be made to children.
