How can we inspire our children to pursue evangelism?

Paul Carrington highlights the importance of introducing children to the lives of men and women who had an ardent desire to share the good news of Jesus Christ. These historical figures, despite their imperfections and mistakes, made significant contributions to the spread of the gospel. Individuals like Hudson Taylor, George Mueller, and Adoniram Judson serve as excellent examples. Carrington emphasizes the importance of using age-appropriate biographies to teach children about these influential figures.

There are also lesser-known evangelists like Jonathan Goforth who are equally important. These individuals had a deep-seated desire to share the goodness of Jesus Christ and disciple nations. Carrington encourages parents to use these stories to inspire their children and hopes that God uses each one of us to further His kingdom.

2 Timothy 4:5 (NKJV): 'But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.'

The last thing I would say is get your hands on some good biographies, maybe even age appropriate for your children, And you can get your hands on these books and start early with introducing them to these men and women who have gone on before. They're not perfect men and women. A lot of them have glaring holes and have made lots of mistakes. But they had a heart to see the gospel go. Men like Hudson Taylor, men like George Mueller, men like Adoniram Judson, just as an example.

There's other lesser known men like Jonathan Goforth and all down through the ages. It's amazing you can find these little gems of Men and women who couldn't help but want other people to know the goodness of Jesus Christ and to make disciples of these different nations as they went. So may God be honoured and glorified and use us Here we are.
