Kids have changed a lot in the past 20 years. If we want to reach children with the Gospel, then we must speak their language and yet many churches are refusing to change. They still use the same tools they used 20 years ago. A greater concern is churches that will change their message to be relevant today.
Is it possible for a church to be cool, relevant and supernatural?
Absolutely! In these last days our kids don't need less of God’s spirit they need more. It is our responsibility to give this generation the tools they need to fight the enemy.
Our culture is always changing because people are constantly changing and y
et the Bible says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and forever.” Our challenge as Christians is to connect people (who are always changing) with a God who never changes. The apostle Paul said it like this, “I become all things to all men that by all means I might win some.”
To reach this generation, we must create sophisticated tools and maintain the purity of the Gospel at the same time. In other words, change our methods, but not our message. That is what the Spirit Filled Children's Ministry Conferences are all about.
Debbie and I will be hosting these conferences at various churches across the country this year. Our goal is to cover topics such as: How to be relevant and Spirit filled, Right balance to live ministry and media, Train your kids to hear the voice of God, Creative attention getters, Developing leadership gifts in your kids, Spirit filled preschool ministry, Recruiting volunteers.
This is a great time to get energized and renewed vision. It is only a one day conference and the registration rates are low enough to bring your whole team.
