A Children's Ministry Vision
As I envisioned my own children walking into eternity not knowing the Triune God I cried out in panic, “Please, please teach me to nurture my children so they will walk with You.”
Little did I know the plans He had for me that day I called out to Him, my only thought was for my son and two daughters. The Triune God had different plans and took me on a path I could have never imagined.
Almighty God began to give me pieces of A VISION for children’s ministry years before I had any thought of serving on a church staff as Director of Children’s Ministry.
After 50 years of serving children, through some strange circumstances I believe the Lord has led me to share what He has taught me.
