Jesus Blesses Little Children
Matthew 19:13-15
13 Then little children were being brought to him in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples spoke sternly to those who brought them; 14but Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.’ 15And he laid his hands on them and went on his way.

The power of one ...
Today I heard a story about a 6 year old girl who after seeing an ad about how children around the world suffered and many had no shoes, decided to collect shoes to send to them. She had a shoe drive. If memory serves me she ended up collecting 15,000 pairs of shoes going to churches and schools. She had the help of her family and her pastor. When I asked what made her decide to do this she said "It was in my heart." How inspiring!!!!!!! How has Christ touched our hearts today, yesterday and tomorrow?

Matthew 18:1-5
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?’ 2He called a child, whom he put among them, 3and said, ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.

Why not target children's ministry? Read Witness to find out more ...
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will
not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
'TAKING Proverbs 22:6, we are commissioned and entrusted by God to train the next generation. I dream of a day when every child is not only given the gospel, but shown how it applies to his or her daily life in such a way that it is relevant and meaningful. '

'Outreach Through Sports' in latest version of Witness
'SINCE July 2011, Ali Young, an associate mission partner
with CMS Britain, has lived and work in Recife, Brazil
working mainly with children ranging from 4-16
years. She lives and worships based in one of the favela,
co-leading the pre-teens small group, where the kids are
growing and changing not just physically but spiritually
too. Through her church she is also involved with work
with street kids ranging from newborn to 18 years old.
Their stories are harrowing, challenging and difficult to
understand, but they help the best they can and show the
love of God!'

Discipleship resources for children!!!!!!!!!!!
'Canon James Almasi and Revd Carlos Marcus, Diocese of Masasi, Tanzania write: “Rooted in Jesus has transformed our work with children; it is changing our church; teachers and children are enthusiastic for Jesus. It has taught us how to support and help our children grow in the Christian faith. Children do not miss Sunday School now. We are helping children really grow in their faith. This is a new experience for us and it is good for us. Rooted in Jesus has given us a curriculum.” '

Formative years are of vital importance in spiritual formation of our children - read more about how to enhance spiritual formation in children during their formative years in this edition of Witness
'THE future of individuals and nations are shaped in a crucial 10-year period between the ages of 4 and 14. Dr. Luis Bush who coined the term “10/40 Window,” and others are calling this the 4/14 Window – Window of Opportunity.

Latest issue of Witness journal focuses on children's ministry.
'How does God make himself known to children and young people, turning them into Christian disciples? In this issue of Witness 6.7 you will read about how Anglicans are still drawing young people to God; bringing hope and light, creating loving community and making a practical difference. A church in New Zealand is forced to reconsider it’s ministry after a massive natural disaster and Messy Church blossoms. Discipleship resources are developed for African children. The churches respond to physical and emotional needs of young people in Brazil and Pakistan.'
