In my heart were many thoughts on how to prepare this radical, passionate generation to possess their inheritance. How do we as ministers, train and equip them to be revolutionaries who will establish justice, minister mercy and bring kingdom dominion to the nations? I know our children are going to places that we have not been before. In the midst of what looks like history’s worst of times, in God’s time table, HIStory is coming to the final chapter. This is the generation that has been chosen for “such a time as this.” My question to the Lord was, “what do the children need?” A dream was developing in my heart. These lessons have expanded far beyond my immediate vision. This curriculum was initially intended as a foundational course for the children’s ministry of Giving Light. There are times when teachers can get so caught up in their favorite or personal ministry areas that some key Biblical truths may get bypassed. Or, if the truths have been taught, have the principles been retained and practiced? I believe this children’s curriculum will help firmly establish them as new Christians, challenge the growing Believer and equip those serious about their commitment to Jesus. I pray God’s blessing over you, your church, and your family as you continue to join with God Almighty to train and nurture the children whom the Lord has given. Your children are precious gifts! These are the generation who passionately pursue with all their heart, “The Way, The Truth and The Life,” who is Jesus Christ. With passion for His cause and His kids, Debbie Hershey
