Some food for thought...
Do our churches tend to budget (money, people, resources, etc.) by shoe
size? Is there a tendency to spend more money on those with bigger shoes
(adults) than those with little shoes (children)? Does smaller mean less
important?
Now bring it closer to home --- Do you spend more time, energy, and money on
your Trailblazers than you do on Straight Arrows? Do we tend to put
commanders with less experience with the younger groups?
A strong, growing church needs a solid children's department. The longer we
take to reach a child for Christ, the more time the enemy has to infect
them.
Proverbs 22:6 tells us "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when
he is old, he will not depart from it."
