"...if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord." (Josh. 24:15)

This is a picture of my daughter, Kristi. (I could not figure out how to get pictures on this computer from when any one of them were little :).) Family evangelism must begin with parents who are believers. Joshua nailed it when he basically said "evangelism begins with 'me.'" So....HOW can we share Christ with our children and other children?

• Pray!
• Be an example in the home on a daily basis (this does not mean be perfect, but ask for their forgiveness when you don't handle things well)
• Treat each child as an individual.
• Help the child see Christ as a living person and not a rigid theology.
• Look for opportunities to plan seeds about the Gospel. Some advice on this is:

*Have consistent family devotions (as you can - DON'T BE LEGALISTIC WITH THIS)

*Spend some time with them before they go to bed. This is when they are often most receptive.

*Model how Scriptures can help day-to-day situations

*Tell your children how Christ has changed your life and how He affects it daily.

*Show your child how you handle failure.

*Look for opportunities to ask probing questions that will help you discuss the message of the Gospel.
