Pray for Our Children and Teens

Today's prayer request is for our children's ministry (K4C) and youth ministry (REACH) student ministries.

While it is important to pray for Tim Anderson and Tim Sullivan and others who lead and serve in these specific ministries at West Cannon Baptist Church, we must remember to pray for the parents of the kids and teens of WCBC.  Parents are the primary disciple-makers in their child's life.  

Pray that ministry leaders and parents would help our young people know and live out the truth of God's Word.

Tim Challies wrote an article entitled "What's the Purpose of Children?"  This is article concludes with the following statement.

At a time when children are regarded as an optional accessory to the good life or written off as an obstacle to it, we do well to return to the infallible Word of God to once again establish God’s purpose for having children. We have children to obey God, to experience his blessing, to have the joy of making disciples, and to grow in our conformity to him. Children are a great gift of God.

The purpose of children is found not in culture, school, or entertainment.
The purpose of children is found in the infallible, inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God.
