In his book, The Holy Spirit, Billy Graham writes that discipleship is vital to the process of establishing new believers in their faith:

“One of the first verses of Scripture that Dawson Trotman, founder of The Navigators, made me memorize was, ‘The things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also’ (2 Timothy 2:2, KJV).

Timothy shared what he knew with faithful men; these faithful men would then teach others also. And so the process goes on and on.

“One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. ‘Which road do I take?’ she asked. ‘Where do you want to go?’ was his response. ‘I don’t know,’ Alice answered. ‘Then,’ said the cat, ‘it doesn’t matter which way you go.’”

Where do you want to go?

Visionary leaders see the big picture
One of the most powerful keys to impact your children’s ministry is to “Begin with the end in mind.”

To begin with the end in mind, simply ask, “What do I hope to accomplish in my children’s ministry?” While leading children to genuine faith in our Lord Jesus is a high priority, salvation is not the end goal. We see in the Great Commandment that we are to love God and others. We learn from the Great Commission that Jesus commanded us to make disciples.
