What is the Mayflower Compact 4 Kids

As God’s child you have been called to an eternal purpose. As an American you have been called to a national purpose. Each requires a strong commitment to live and give your life to the purposes of God. The pilgrims made great sacrifices of life and material goods when they started out on their pilgrim journey to establish our country. The Mayflower Compact is the document that was created as a mission statement for this new country. Their words of commitment to a nation and to God cover a broad spectrum of ideals to which the pilgrims agreed as a life style both personally and as a nation. The document you will find below is a paraphrase of the original. It is written specifically with children in mind and offers today's young people a tangible mission for their lives as true Americans.
