“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” ( Matthew 28:19-20)
The Great Commission is for everyone, not just for the youth & the adults. Laying a strong foundation for spiritual growth in children enables them to respond with enthusiasm to Jesus’ command to be His witnesses. As these kids are grounded in their faith, they are also being equipped to share their faith and win other kids like them to a fulfilling life with Jesus.
These kids are being trained to go out with their team leaders to share the Good News. Age is never a factor in participating in the advancement of the Kingdom. Jesus never underestimated children. In fact, He said,“Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” (Matthew 19:14)
If you watch the news, you will find disturbing photos or video clips of children as young as 4 being trained to use guns. Why not arm our children with the right weapons? “We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.” (2 Cor. 10:4)
In 5 to 10 years, these children will become young adults—future movers & shakers. Let’s help equip them and “point them in the right direction so that when they’re old they won’t be lost.” (Prov. 22:6)
Start ’em young. Worship is a way of life.
At an early age, these children recognize the power of prayer.
