Ministering to Children as God’s Capable Vessels

Based in Lufkin, Texas, Eric Thomas Garland is an operator at Combat Oil Field Solutions. Also a family pastor in Lufkin, Eric Garland enjoys ministering to children. 

In the Bible, there are instances where God used children to accomplish His will. This shows that in God’s eyes, children are strong and mighty and can be used to establish His kingdom. It is incumbent upon children’s pastors, therefore, to minister to children as people completely capable of delivering God’s message of love and salvation. Following are some suggestions for pastors on how to do it.

-Believe in each of your children. Go a step further and tell them you believe in their individual abilities. 

-Do not be afraid of teaching God’s Word to them. Teach it fully. Kids are smarter than you think.

-Teach your children about worship. Show them how to do it, in a way that makes them fall in love with it. 

-Teach your children not to sin. God hates sin; tell your children they should do so too.

-Teach your children to share God’s Word with others.
