Night after night, reports from 𝗙𝗶𝗷𝗶 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 have revealed something significant: children and young people are consistently making up a major share of those gathering to hear the Word of God.

This is more than an attendance statistic. It is a call to the Church.

If young people are coming to hear the Gospel today, we must intentionally prepare them to preach that Gospel tomorrow and empower them to serve today.

The Bible reminds us, “Train up a child in the way he should go…”Proverbs 22:6.

Let us disciple them. Teach them the Scriptures. Give them opportunities to preach, lead, serve and witness. Place experienced mentors beside them and help them discover that they have a place in God’s mission.
