Children is the most neglected mission field in the world today. Rarely to see a person to consider the children, specially in spiritual aspect. In my own observation, children are to be tamed, cared to less noise in church service and avoid to be able to concentrate in church service. Young people even adults neglecting this ministry because its not exciting to teach them as they say. Instead what they do is...
1. Children is given just crafts to do during church service.
2. Children is entertained with song without the Word.
3. Children's teacher didn't care if studied or not
4. Children's teacher didn't care if trained or no experience at all
5. Children's teacher didn't care if teach the Word or not
They didn't know... that the children is precious in the sight of the one they loved: Lord Jesus Christ. In Matthew 18:14 says In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.
GOD wants children to be saved just like you and me.
They didn't know...they are hepllessly under attack by the enemy. --victims of all corruption in this world, prostitution, wrong parenting, wars, drugs, crime, alcoholism and even calamities.
They didn't know..."if you win a child for Christ you have saved an entire life. If you win an adult, you may have only saved a soul."
They didn't know...their hearts are most tender to the Gospel . Studies shows that 85% of those who receive Jesus Christ do so between the ages of 4 and 14 years old; 10% between 15-30 and only 4% when they are above 30.
They didn't know.... they are missing the most fruitful mission filed: CHILDREN"S MINISTRY!
