Description
Children have always been close to the heart of God, and as followers of Jesus it is our responsibility to protect, and pass our faith to children; In Small Matters, authors Greg Nettle and Santiago “Jimmy” Mellado offer a model of discipleship that encourages parents to raise up the next generation to be deeply committed to and in love with Jesus.
Small Matters is a compelling tool for people passionate that every child has the opportunity to become fully who God intends for him/her to be. Through their decades of experience in local and global church planting and child development, authors Greg Nettle and Santiago “Jimmy” Mellado help inspire and move parents to prioritize ministry in their childrens lives.
According to the authors, once parents and ministry leaders awaken to the fact that children between the ages of four and fourteen are the most likely to make a decision to follow Jesus, it will transform the way we view children, reach out to them, teach them, and, ultimately, empower them to be disciples of Jesus.
Small Matters teaches a new model of discipleship that encourages parents to disciple their children as their primary responsibility, with the church there to help them, instead of visa-versa. What results through this paradigm shift is an unprecedented opportunity to invest in the cause of children through new church planting, equipping childrens ministries, and child sponsorship; all of which are committed to holistic child development.
