Parents have a huge influence on the faith of their children. Research has shown that the majority of people in our churches became Christians before they were 20 years old. This just reinforces the importance of equipping parents to raise their children in the knowledge and love of Jesus, alongside our established church programs of Sunday School and youth ministries. Sunday School programs are great, but they work best in partnership with home discipleship.
How can parents (and grandparents) to do more at home? How can you be the spiritual leaders in your homes? Do you feel overwhelmed when reminded that you should be teaching your children the Bible at home? If you are single and have a niece or nephew at home, do you feel alienated and left out when this is mentioned? If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, we encourage you to sign up for the following online seminars, starting 28th November.
Those teaching and helping in Children’s ministry, Girls’ Brigade and Boys’ Brigade are also welcome to sign up for the online seminars. Together we are the family of God with a responsibility to encourage, teach and build up our youth and children.
Organised by Prepare Next Generation PLT based in Sabah, there is a fee of RM10 per seminar.

We are praying for parents and grandparents in our congregation. Do not feel discouraged when you fall short. You are already overwhelmed by the many demands on you to provide your kids with every opportunity, the best education, the nest nutrition, as well as working yourselves and spending time with family members. Should you forget, or fall behind, just start again.
