The mission of the church begins at home: “For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off …” (Acts 2:39a, emphasis mine). The greatest untapped resource pool of potential missionaries is the children in our homes.
When children grow up in families that are on mission together, they are more likely to do the same as adults in their own families. If we try to protect our children from seeing and experiencing how God can use them to touch their own little world, are we parenting well or merely protecting our own hearts?
