BECAUSE THE KIDOLOGIST'S MOTHER SAID SO
"What's growing up got to do with it? You are teaching next Wednesday!" These were a mother's words to a ten year-old boy after he explained that that he wanted to be a children's evangelist/pastor when he grew up. Yes, my mom understood that serving God had nothing to do with age, and that first Wednesday in front of a room full of peers was the beginning of a life of creatively teaching children and eventually equipping and encouraging others as well. Thank God for moms who get kids serving God, and thank God for children's workers who do the same each week! Are you putting kids in a place of service? Don't expect them to do it later if they aren't doing it now. After all, "What's growing up got to do with it?"

Because Jesus Loves Children,
Pastor Karl D. Bastian - a.k.a. "The Kidologist"
