Why Minister to Young People?
-
Because Jesus said, “. . . Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:14
-
Because children are the world’s most fruitful Mission Field.
- Because every unsaved adult was once an unsaved child that someone failed to reach for Christ.
- Because it is God’s will that we give opportunities for young people to receive Christ. “Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.” Matthew 18:14
- Because young people are the Church of TODAY.
-
Because 85% of those who come to Christ, do so between the ages of 4 and 14.
Faith comes easily to children –
Isaac Watts was saved at the age of 9,
Jonathan Edwards at 7,
Matthew Henry at 11,
Jim Elliot at 6, and
Corrie Ten Boom at the age of 5.
“When a child is saved, not only is a soul saved, but a life as well.” – D.L. Moody
“A child of five, if properly instructed, can as readily believe and be regenerated as anyone.” – Charles Spurgeon
