Inspiring Your Children to be Evangelists

How can we inspire our children to pursue evangelism? Paul Carrington highlights the importance of introducing children to the lives of men and women who had an ardent desire to share the good news of Jesus Christ. These historical figures, despite their imperfections and mistakes, made significant contributions to the spread of the gospel. Individuals like Hudson Taylor, George Mueller, and Adoniram Judson serve as excellent examples. Carrington emphasizes the importance of using age-appropriate biographies to teach children about these influential figures. There are also lesser-known evangelists like Jonathan Goforth who are equally important. These individuals had a deep-seated desire to share the goodness of Jesus Christ and disciple nations. Carrington encourages parents to use these stories to inspire their children and hopes that God uses each one of us to further His kingdom. 2 Timothy 4:5 (NKJV): 'But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.'
