He said to them, “Go into all the world and
preach the gospel to all creation. (Mark 16:15 NIV )
Children love to show off! When they learn something new, their immediate response is, “Hey, watch this!” When they make something with their own hand by example.
Teach Them Early
As children start to develop relationships in their neighborhood and school, encourage them to invite friends to church. A very young child may not be able to verbalize the gospel to others, but inviting others to church is something they can do. Bringing their friends to church is often a first step in teaching children how to share the knowledge of Jesus with others.
Teach Them Often
Don’t just leave all the teaching to the church. Listening to Christian music and that evangelism is a lifestyle, not just something you do once in a while.
Teach Them by Example
As the saying goes, more is caught than taught. In other words, children will do what they see more often than what they hear. When your child sees the joy and forgiveness. Teach your child now, while they are young, to share the gospel of Christ. It will become an invaluable tool as they grow up to serve the Lord in all they do!
