INTRODUCTION<br />
Dear Partner,<br />
This manual has been carefully and specifically prepared <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Children/Family Ministry<br />
<strong>Teacher</strong>. For years <strong>the</strong> Church has focused more on <strong>the</strong> adult church and prosperity leaving<br />
neglected a harvest field of souls; <strong>the</strong> souls of our children.<br />
The <strong>Children's</strong> ministry is a highly sensitive ministry because of God's purpose <strong>for</strong> raising Godly<br />
seed in every generation. Children ultimately become men and women and <strong>the</strong>y are a great<br />
opportunity <strong>for</strong> soul winning. Men and women who give <strong>the</strong>ir lives to Jesus do so between <strong>the</strong><br />
ages of 4 to 14 years. It has also been statistically established that 83% of men and women who<br />
become Christians do so at <strong>the</strong> tender age of 6 to 14 years. Understanding too that God has<br />
purposed and designed <strong>the</strong> family unit and <strong>the</strong> church as training centers <strong>for</strong> equipping and<br />
shaping <strong>the</strong> faith of Jesus in children ensures we do not treat any child unlovingly and less than<br />
we would treat an adult, single or parent. Every child's soul is precious and deserves tender,<br />
compassionate love.<br />
We hope you will reap many gains from studying this inspired document. We also implore you<br />
to share your knowledge with o<strong>the</strong>rs as <strong>the</strong> harvest is ready <strong>for</strong> yielding but <strong>the</strong> laborers are<br />
few. Your reward is awaiting you here on earth, and when we are ready to meet Jesus!<br />
Thank you <strong>for</strong> signing up!<br />
