SALT For Kids
S.A.L.T. was launched from a prophetic message to Australia. In the message, it showed the Father’s heart for children to actively participate in seeing His Kingdom come to Australia and in fact any nation. We all know that the kingdom of God belongs to children. The S.A.L.T. team partnered with heaven’s invitation to find a way for every child to respond and be a kingdom kid now.
