Agents in Mission is a collection of nearly 100 ideas for making the world a better place.  The ideas came from a group of 20 children, aged 7–14, who attended an elective at the Creative Kids Camp run by The Salvation Army in Victor Harbor, South Australia in 2010.  They were given the task of brainstorming ideas and simple actions that would—in their own small way—help to change the world.  The kids were then told that they shouldn’t sit back and wait for someone else to take on the challenge—they could be ‘agents in mission’ themselves.

While the book is written by children, it can be read by anyone. It can be put on coffee tables, left in waiting rooms, used in classrooms or discussed by adults over coffee. The aim is to challenge readers to make a difference.
