on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. 14 Jesus said, “Let
the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of
heaven belongs to such as these.” 15 When he had placed his hands on them,
he went on from there.
While we are planning how to reach Albanians with the Gospel, I believe God
has spoken in my heart: "What about children?"
The services in Toronto now are only to adults, children are taken away to
another place to play and let the adults enjoy the time with God. As a new
church planter I'm thinking, if I might get more or less support if I go
full time in ministry only to reach children!
God has a special view towards children. In Jesus time children were
considered as an embarrassment and their parents have been rebuked by
bringing them in the midst of adults ministry time. Sometimes this happens
today!
My point today to share with you dear friends-partners in the Gospel of
Jesus Christ-is to have children in our plans to reach the Albanian
diaspora. I know that some people never preach to children because they
believe it is the duty of the parents to do that. They have never been in
Albania after 91' . So many fine Christians today were children in that
time and were reached by dedicated ministers of the Gospel.
Let's work together to have a love strategy how to reach the young
generation for Jesus. Let's open the way for them to know the Lord.
See you tomorrow at the gathering,

Amen Endrit. The body of Christ in any given location needs to come along side parents to "train children up in the way they should go". Every study I ever heard of on when people become followers of Jesus always points to the fact that the vast majority of Christians made the decision to follow Jesus between the ages of 4-14. As someone who works with international students at even the college level I have found that it is rare (although possible) for their world view to change drastically.
Blessings,
Kevin
