Building a Culture of Justice and Mercy in Your Church's Children and Youth Programs

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Do you believe in a child's ability to make a difference in their community? Do you see youth as agents of change in the world? We do, too. Micah 6:8 urges us to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Guided by this mandate and three child development models (cognitive, social, and spiritual), we have created a practical guide for church leaders to develop a culture of mercy and justice in their church. No matter the size of your congregation, this model will help the Christian educator, youth minister, or pastor who wants to empower their community's children and youth. Starting in preschool, our Helpers learn the concept of mercy as helping others. By the time they become Co-Creators in high school, they are engaging in justice work that takes on the powers of the world and walking humbly, in solidarity, with the poor and marginalized of the world.
