Everyone
Is A Youth Leader!
Most adults who are currently strong in their faith, had three things
going for them while growing up: parent(s) involved in the faith, other
family members who cared about their faith (such as grandparents), and at
least one person outside of the family who would have died for them and
their faith.
How You
Can Inspire Faith In The Current Generation:
1. Choose one child who is a
family member whom you will die for, and with whom you will share your
faith. Share your joys and struggles
with faith. Share your passion to
love and forgive. Share your
favorite Bible story. Simply share
your faith.
2. Choose one child who is
not a family member, but whom you will die for, and with whom you will
share your faith. Share your joys and
struggles with faith. Share your
passion to love and forgive. Share
your favorite Bible story. Simply
share your faith.

Five Principles For Passing On The Faith
- Faith
is formed by the power of the Holy Spirit through personal, trusted
relationships – often in our own homes
- The
church is a living partnership between the ministry of the congregation
and the ministry of the home.
- Christ
is present everywhere in faith.
Therefore, the home is church too.
- Faith
is caught more than it is taught.
- If
we want Christian children and youth, we need Christian adults and
parents.
