Prayer for Children’s Discipleship

After the shoebox distribution in December, the second step of “Operation Christmas Child” is the “Greatest Journey”: a 12-week program of children’s discipleship classes.

However, though thousands of children hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ when they receive their shoebox gifts, and hundreds attend the first discipleship classes, by the

end of the “Greatest Journey” many children have stopped attending.  Many churches around our state sadly inform us that only few children finish the discipleship program.

 

We recognize that we, as teachers, can only plant or water the seeds of God’s truth, but it is God alone who gives the growth in the children’s lives

(1Corinthians 3:6).  With that in mind, we called the participating churches in the state to gather to pray for the children in the “Greatest Journey” discipleship program this year: that they would have faith in Christ and persevere in the Gospel and seeking God through His Word.

 

We know the Lord hears and answers the prayers of these faithful Tlaxcala Bible teachers, interceding for the children of the state.
