SHARING JESUS WITH KIDS EVERYWHERE 2031
EVERY CHILD IS PRECIOUS “I’m afraid that of the four children who would normally be at the show, three of them will be away. “So we completely understand if it’s not worth your while to fly all this way (more than 400 kilometres) for one child.” The team had just finished a show for ten kids in a small Outback town, when the phone had rung. It was the principal of the next school. Would it be worth the time, money and hassle to fly to that next school for ONE child? There was not a moment’s hesitation: “We will come!” Quiz Worx exists to share Jesus with kids everywhere. This often means we perform shows for hundreds of children. Sometimes thousands. But occasionally, like in this case, we will perform for one child. In this Vision booklet you will read of the numbers of kids we are seeking to share Jesus with over the next 5 years. Please know that the numbers are not what drives us. Each child is precious to God. So, whether we share with thousands, hundreds, tens or ones, we love sharing the Good News of Jesus, because every child matters! Please enjoy the read, and prayerfully consider how you can partner with us in this work. And rejoice because we follow a Saviour who says, “Let the children come to me...for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these” (Mark 10:14). MAtt Gorton (Creative Director) & Nic Koeck (General Manager) November 2026
Each year hundreds of thousands of children in State schools take part in Christian Religious Instruction (RI) in QLD and Special Religious Education (SRE) in NSW. These children, who have been opted into these classes by their parents, get to question, explore and discover the Christian faith. In Catholic and Christian schools, kids also frequently have opportunities to learn about Jesus. Quiz Worx loves to share Jesus with kids everywhere in fun, faithful and memorable ways. In 2026 we are on track to perform close to 900 shows, reaching approximately 100,000 kids. We are humbled at how God has grown this ministry since it began in 1998. But we are also aware that there are many more kids we are not reaching. So we are excited to, under God, continue to grow this ministry in sharing Jesus with even more kids everywhere. * Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics 2025 School Census.

MISSION STATEMENT QUIZ WORX EXISTS TO SHARE JESUS WITH KIDS EVERYWHERE, BY: 01 02 03 Presenting the Good News of the Bible through performing creative live shows for kids (especially in State schools). Resourcing and equipping others to faithfully proclaim Jesus to children. Ministering to Christian children within the wider Christian community.
OUR VALUES JESUS/THE GOOD NEWS OF THE BIBLE KIDS SHARE CREATIVE LIVE SHOWS SCHOOLS TEAM WORK Our basis as a Christian ministry is the Bible – the Word of God. The historical Jesus is the centre point of the Bible’s teaching. The primary focus of this ministry is children being able to hear the message of Jesus. We seek to set forth the message of the Bible in a sensitive and age-appropriate manner. We are always looking to be creative and educationally sound in all our teaching. While creating resources is an aspect of our work, the unique emphasis of our ministry is the performing of live shows. Our biggest focus is in partnering with RI/SRE teachers in State schools. We also love working with local churches, and Catholic and Christian schools. No matter what role or position someone holds, we seek to respect and care for each team member, for the person they are and the work that they do. For a comprehensive list of all our core values, please visit quizworx.com/core-values. A SUMMARY OF OUR CORE VALUES:
QUIZ WORX 2031 In light of the Situation, our Mission and our Values, we have developed a five-year vision. By 2031, Quiz Worx seeks to: THEREFORE, WE AIM TO: 1. DOUBLE OUR LIVE SHOW IMPACT FROM 100,000 KIDS (2026) TO 200,000 KIDS (2031) We seek to double the number of children hearing the Good News of Jesus through live Quiz Worx shows each year. Because we cannot control attendance numbers at RI/SRE or school assemblies, the most reliable way to increase our live reach is to increase the number of shows we perform annually. • Increase annual shows from approximately 900 (2026) to approximately 1,800 (2031) • Maintain a strong focus on State Schools in partnership with SRE/RI (approx 80% of shows) • Grow engagement with Catholic schools (from under 1% towards 5% of shows) • Increase engagement with Christian and Independent schools THE PERFORMING OF LIVE SHOWS IS THE CENTRAL FOCUS OF QUIZ WORX
THEREFORE, WE AIM TO: THEREFORE, WE AIM TO: 2. PRODUCE AND FREELY DELIVER VIDEOS FOR PLACES WHERE WE CAN’T GO LIVE (LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY) 3. TRAIN IN EXCESS OF 5,000 PEOPLE IN FAITHFUL AND CREATIVE CHILDREN’S MINISTRY We seek to grow and utilise our videos to help support teachers, churches, and ministry leaders with creative Bible-based resources. • Produce at least one new major video resource each year (Christmas or Easter) • Promote our videos and digital resources to be better utilised throughout Australia and the World We seek to equip people who serve in children’s ministry both within Quiz Worx and across churches, schools, and ministry networks. • Triple the number of Interns/Associates from 4 (2026) to 12 (2031) • Provide training in creative and faithful children’s ministry through our Christmas Volunteer program, specialised workshops and children’s ministry conferences While we move towards this five-year vision, our ultimate marker of success is NOT whether we hit these numbers or not. Our ultimate measure of success is whether we are staying true to our Mission and our Values.

The show was a clear explanation of the Good News in a fun and engaging way for kids. It gave so much encouragement to our regular SRE teachers too! - TONY, SRE TEACHER AND MINISTER The quality of the performance is always excellent and the genuineness of the people involved is very good. Thank you for what you are doing to bring the knowledge of Jesus to kids around our country in a really fun and engaging way. - JENNY, CHILDREN’S MINISTRY WORKER Great energy. Excellent story. Our kids loved and remembered it even AFTER the holidays. - JAN, RI COORDINATOR Best show ever! Kids were engaged, message was clear, lots of different methods used, presenters were great! - ROCHELLE, SRE COORDINATOR ENCOURAGING FEEDBACK
The Deputy Principal was very impressed to see how well behaved the kids were because they were so engaged in the whole show. - COLLEEN, RI COORDINATOR We loved the clear, enthusiastic, humorous and engaging presentation, and the friendliness of the performers. We are grateful to Quiz Worx for providing this amazing ministry, especially to students at small schools in regional and rural areas! - DAVID, SRE COORDINATOR It was an awesome show that had the kids attention the whole time! They absolutely loved it (& the teachers too). I ran into a family at our local post office whose children attended the show. The parents mentioned the kids had just finished telling them all about it. The message was very clear and easy for the kids to grasp. - LEANNE, SRE COORDINATOR It was such a joy to have Quiz Worx at Allowah today. The show engaged well with our teenagers and young adults (living with disability). It was such a joy to see the teenagers and young adults respond to the show, and respond to the key message. Thank you so much! - ROCHELLE, CHAPLAIN AT ALLOWAH CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
