There is no such thing as a Junior Holy Spirit. God works in children’s lives as powerfully as in adults. In fact, many missionaries, pastors, church leaders and avid supporters agree that God called them as a child.

In fact, just last week, I sat with a couple who are considering cross-cultural ministry. The wife told me she was eleven when she received her call.

EFM wants to help parents, grandparents, relatives, and friends of children nurture this work. Four missionary families (including their kids) and one missionary support family have contributed to this children’s devotional resource, hoping to spur on conversations about how God is at work around the world as well as in our families.

In the end, we hope that these devotionals will help deepen a child’s commitment to the Great Commission by praying, giving, and perhaps even going. You will find more information about how to use this booklet in both the Introduction and Afterward of this resource.

We are praying that many children will want to respond in generosity. We are collecting a Family Missions Focus Offering. It will be used to support our Five-Year Goal that is fueled by the Luke 10 Initiative – sending 10 New Households to 5 New Fields by the End of 2025. Please prayerfully consider inviting the children in your life to participate in this opportunity to learn the joy of giving.

We believe that God’s is doing immeasurable more than we can ask or imagine and are confident this work will pass from generation to generation. We believe this resource is a part of this process. May it be a blessing to you and to the children you love.

Because of Christ,

Stan Leach
Executive Director of EFM
