 What is the current
practice now a days?
1. Evangelism becomes the
mere focus of the church.
2. Education is neglected or if
not it becomes secondary.
 What model did Jesus Christ
gave to His disciples?

1. He taught His disciples for three years.

2. He spent many hours with them.
3. He taught them how to pray and read the
Bible.
4. He taught them how to share Gods love.
5. He taught them how to prepare for the Kingdom
of God.
 What preparation does our
church have for our Children?
* Do we prepare them for the life here
and hereafter?
* Do we consider Christ model for our
children to imitate and emulate?
* Does spending more time in God is our
utmost desire for our children?

excellent in supporting the

His children.
