Make them known to your children and your children’s children.

The church sits in the middle of the neighborhood, a beacon of light to a world of darkness. Generations have come through the doors of the building, finding new life in Christ. This church body has been faithful to reach the children in their community with the Gospel through an annual 5-Day Club (pictured above). Many of the same children have come to the club every summer. One of the families who attended the club saw new life come to their entire family over the course of the year. Joyfully, each family member trusted Christ as their Savior and the entire family was baptized one Sunday. This is what happens when a church body makes God’s Word know to their children and their children’s children-the neighborhood is changed by the positive influence of a regular program for children; children’s lives are changed by the Gospel, and the lives of entire families are influenced for Christ. As believers in Christ, we are called to instruct our children and our children’s children in the way they should go. That call extends to reaching our neighbors and children around us for Christ (after all, they are a part of our “Jerusalem”-Acts 1:8). The church body above has found practical ways to reach their community for Christ, and what a difference it has made! What are you doing to reach your community for Christ? It’s time to make God’s Word known to your children and your children’s children, and maybe even your neighbor’s children.
