Session 7: Preparing for Mission

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!

The Need To Know

All yours.

  •   When kids turn away from God, we release them back to Him in belief and prayer.
  •   Allow God to explore your heart for ways you might have contributed to their rebellion.
  •   Trust God’s long game for your kids. Ultimately, our kids belong to Him.
  •   Encourage your kids to constantly live as ambassadors on mission in whatever occupation and circumstances God has for them. Every calling can be sacred.
