They just believe without any complications. When did they stop believing that they’re superheroes and start believing that nobody loves them? Why didn’t anyone tell them that they have permission to be strong forever, or that beauty is second nature?

Children will live the same way as those who impact them. Every soul that we don’t try to reach, we lose by default. The words ring in our hearts: “train a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it”.

So with that charge we impact their young souls, helping them to understand the greatness of the God who created them. Not all children make it to Children’s Church on Sunday mornings…sometimes we must take church to them. In our apartment complex we are bringing a tangible experience of God to those who may never get it at home or anywhere else. We bring them hope for their future.

Maybe it’s when we sit down and help with their homework, or the game that we play and the snacks that we share. It could be the dance that we are practicing, or maybe it’s the Bible story. They get to come and worship God. For some that means not having to worry about being the man of the house, for others it’s a chance to escape from the drugs, or abuse. They get to just be kids and learn that they’re important to somebody.
