Topic: Ministry to Children
Children matter to God. In fact, they represent the largest mission field in the world!
Children matter to God. In fact, the great evangelist D. L. Moody once said that he led 2.5 people to Christ. When asked if he meant two adults and one child, he replied “No, I meant two children and one adult.” Children have their whole lives in front of them, while adults are already halfway through their lives. Everyone needs the gospel, but we would be foolish to think that children matter the least to God.
Still not convinced? Children represent the largest mission field in the world. In fact, over 84% of Christians in today's world accepted Christ between the ages of 4 and 14.*
“Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” -Luke 18:15-17
Friends, will you join me in this mission of sharing the gospel with children? Will you strive with me to disciple children, to put your wants and desires aside in order to get down on a child’s level and speak truth into their life, and let the Holy Spirit transform their life?
I am a minister to the largest mission field in the world. I am a minister to children. Are you?
