NEED FOR THE MINISTRY
"Today, two out of three children under the age of 14 have never heard the Good News of our Savior’s love. Compare this alarming statistic with the fact that 85% of all

Christians received Christ before the age of 14, and it’s clear the largest, most important mission field is elementary school children. It has been said, America is one generation from becoming a pagan nation. We must reach children NOW. "
