OH MY! Glory to God in the highest! One of the greatest blessings I have had in my life is teaching children’s Sunday School in two of the Churches I have attended in my 70 years! I love children! They are the future of the Church and our country! We must help them learn the ways of God! I will be preaching on this topic on Sunday at FBC in Pie Town, NM.
I get very sad when I see few or no children in Churches. I see this too often! I always wonder why those Churches are not out and about in carrying out The Great Commission. Tragic! I call it working for the do-little-sit-more Church.
Is your Church raising up leaders for Jesus? How many baptisms has your church officiated in the last five years?

BRENTWOOD, Tennessee – In a culture filled with athletes, entertainers and online personalities competing for children’s attention, the B&H Kids “Here I Am!” series seeks to introduce young readers to a different kind of role model: men and women whose lives were marked by faithfulness to God.
Through biographies of Augustine of Hippo, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, C.S. Lewis, Lottie Moon, Lulu Fleming and Elisabeth Elliot, the picture-book series offers children examples of believers who persevered through hardship, trusted God and left a legacy of faith.
“Kids are going to have TV stars and musicians and sports heroes who can fail them,” said Michelle Freeman, editor of the series. “When we can look back at these people who have lived a good life and lived it well, as much as any of us can, they are able to see that with the ups and downs, they continue to serve God.”
For Freeman, the series is about more than introducing children to historical figures. It is about helping them understand that God has worked through faithful believers throughout history.
“We need to explain to children that people you read about in the Bible were real people,” Freeman said. “Why not continue to show there are people of faith in every moment of history?” More Here
