Children of the Unsaved ...

[Guest Thomas I believe]

Greetings to all in Christ Jesus. I have always pondered on this subject what to do. So many children of unsaved parents do not know anything of God, Church etc. Our public schools of course do not do there part either for the most part as far as exposing students to the Lord. I live in a townhouse community with 48 other familys and sad to say there are probally only 3 families here that are believers. Probally a fairly common statistic there. My heart goes out for these children. Most of the children here have not seen a church because there parents don't believe and unfortanetly the lack of God in there lives is reflected in the way they act, there attitude etc. I realize it is tough in this day and age to approach young children that we don't really know, because even though we wouldnt mean any harm others in the world would be harmful to these children. If we can't reach the parents, how do we reach these kids ? It is sad to even think about where they might be headed , I wished I would have met Jesus sooner in my life but God had a plan. Can we witness to these young children ? Is it appropiate ? I have thought about giving out christian coloring books to them but is that even that, going to get us into hot water with the parents ? Most of all yes, we should witness to the parents but can we do something for the children ? I would like some comments if you have any....

We have to be a light for those that are lost.Maybe start visitations with a gruop from your church to these homes.Hand out tracts or church flyers to special events that involve the youth at your church.We have alot of kids at our church whose parents dont attented.Does your church have a youth ministry?

Blessings,

I keep going back to what our brother The Last Rebel Soldier said about being living bibles. What we do, how we live our lives is so much more important then what we say. I believe that by living the life Christ wants us to live we can reach both parents and child.

My family are good friends with a non christian family who live just down the road from us.The parents are not interested in Christ although they have had lots of discussions, and been invited to church.

I am friends with some of their children, and I have spoken to them about the Lord, but they also were not interested.

Twice a week my Mum gives two of the children reading lessons, and at Christmas, Mum asked them if they knew what christmas was about, and they didn't know, so she told them about Jesus birth. After that , she asked them if they knew any of the bible stories, like Daniel in the Lions Den, Jonah and the Whaleand Noah,and when they said no, she told them a different story each week. They started to really enjoy this and soon they were asking Mum which story she was going to tell them next time.

They are a great family and we get on really well together, and we are praying that they will get saved, but we can talk to them about Jesus because we are friends with them. I don't think we could do it if we were not.

Dear Thomas,

Is the school in your area, that they attend? There is a way to get the Word into the schools. I head up a ministry that currently has 6 after-school Bible studies in 3 area public elementary schools. It CAN be done! I can help you in steps to get started.........feel free to pm me if you'd like.

In His Love,

Also, here's a link that might be helpful. I do not belong to this organization, but I HAVE attended some of their training sessions. They are a very devoted, serious ministry that is wholly focused on the type of ministry that reaches unchurched children, and their spiritual well-being.

Their training is VERY helpful for evangelizing children.
