"Today's All-Star Missions Churches"-Chapter 4

In chapter 4, Telford introduces the concept of mobilizing children for the mission field. "...there is no greater purpose we can impart to children than G'od's purpose, which is to make his name known to every tongue, tribe, and nation" (pg 50). When a church works hard at mobilizing children for mission, then there is a "bubble" effect and the adults become mobilized themselves. Another interesting thing that Telford notes is that on one occasion when he was speaking to a large gathering of missionaries the average age when God called these people to missions was 8 years old! 

I have to admit that when I consider what missions at Fellowship should look like, I had not even considered mobilizing children. I hope that God will call many of our children to the mission field!
