A Prayer for Your Child to Be Bold for the Gospel
By Victoria Riollano "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." - 1 Timothy 4:12 I couldn't believe she took so many flyers. With only a few weeks left before Easter, Tiffany, a fifth grader at our church, grabbed half of the marketing materials from the church lobby. As the pastor's wife, I wasn't sure whether to be excited or encourage her to not take so many. Yet, I felt the nudge of the Holy Spirit to stay silent. Days later, I got an unexpected message saying that this same girl was met with disdain by her school principal. While other students were fighting about their place in the lunch line, playing games at the gym, or stressing over a spelling test, little Tiffany was passing out flyers to anyone who walked past her at school. And to that, the principal's response was, "Absolutely not." Days later, I learned that Tiffany didn't choose to be frustrated but activated. Since she couldn't pass them out at school, she took them all over the neighborhood, personally inviting her neighbors to church. She had even invited everyone in her dentist's office to church! |
