Let the Children Come

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” This famous passage from Matthew 19 shows us Jesus' heart — God loves the little children of the world. And He wants to have a personal relationship with them! You know, we have an opportunity in our communities and families to share the hope that’s found in the Gospel with our children. This past December in Honduras, Susan, who’s part of our team, and her group traveled to teach a condensed version of a program called Hope for Kids to churches located there. Hundreds and hundreds of children in a poverty-stricken area heard the Gospel and gave their hearts to Jesus. They also learned how they can clearly share it with their friends as well! Last year, we saw over 5 million children put their trust in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life. Learn more about how you too can share your faith on our website at www.sharelife.today.
