Concerned about Christian Children LEAVING the Church in DROVES! TIPS TO HELP!
I am a concerned homeschooling mom and Children's Pastor…I am very concerned about our kids...
I have seen some alarming statistics about kids LEAVING THE CHURCH at 18 or they can. That breaks my heart!
Barna research studies say that about 80% of Christian children LEAVE the church and do not return! WHY? This doesn't need to be near the truth! God and HIS Presence and His LOVE is soooo much fun and so exciting that IF they really will walk with Him if they are introduced to an intimate RELATIONSHIP with Him. Also, when they learn how to strategically use the Bible for everyday life, they are better connected, glued and grafted into His body of Christ.
We want to see a huge success rate for our kids right?! We want our kids to WALK with the Lord ALL the days of their lives!
I just created a YouTube that is really directed to Children's Pastors and I'm thinking of creating one for Parents with TIPS for Parents to DO at home...to train kids to be passionate for Jesus. We can lead them to the water at least...then I know its up to the children and youth to actually DRINK.
This YouTube clip has a few tips that can help….
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Any good resource ideas?
If you have ideas you want to see posted here to share with others….just send me the info and I will spread the word. We really NEED TO WORK TOGETHER!
Thanks

Hmmm!! The answer is very controversial.. Many will NOT agree with me and that's OK, I stopped pleasing people a long time ago and started to stand up for the truth. I have spent the weekend at ENOCH, was so blessed. "Kevin Swanson, spoke exactly about this. NUmber 1 reason: Lack of leadership & discipling from FATHERS.
Number #2 : True repentance not being taught
Number #3 : Churches seek to entertain youth and instead of teaching them (family) Biblical Living Principles.
Number #4 : LEads back to #1, No firm foundatin established by the head of the family.
Like I said you may not agree but that's OK..

Thanks Becky....
YOU ARE RIGHT....Parenting is the NEXT video I wanted to tackle!
ALso, #3 is part of my point...we really need to help the kids experience God and relate with Him in ways that touch their hearts to the CORE...then they won't need as much to keep them going. When the Holy Spirit begins to move...even the wigglers begin to focus on their own. Really focus!
