Becoming a Christian is the most important decision a child will ever make. Following up with the child is one of the most important investment a church leader can make. Scripture commands us to “make disciples.” A disciple is a learner, a student, someone learning to become like Jesus. After a child accepts Christ into her life helping her grow in her knowledge and application of biblical principles is important. That is why I am so pleased with our new Christian materials for children. Following a child’s decision to accept Christ, our church provides a four week long class in which the child and her parents learn about her decision. We use the I’m a Christian, Now! materials to help the child understand what being a Christian is all about, the decision she made to become a Christian, the Lord’s Supper, baptism, worship, and beginning to grow as a Christian.

I love this idea! My daughter accepted Christ into her life last year when she was 6 years old. It was a wonderful exerpience and a short time later she made the ultimate decision to be baptised. I am so happy she has chosen to follow the Lord but this will be very handy. Now 7 years old, she doesn’t grasp a lot of the concept of reading the Bible every day or how to pray. I think this will help many families.
