Watch this video post and ask yourselves, what does this mean for the church? What does it mean for the way we offer ministry to youth and to children. What, if anything, does it say to us about the future of our ministry? We want to hear from you!

If you haven’t read Thom Rainers’ book “The Bridger Generation” I suggest you do. He does a great job of showing why we are losing our kids today. Yes, they live in a world of technology but they are longing for relationships with adults.
Does your ministry care for the “Invisible Children of America?” More than likely within 10 miles of your church there are children going to bed tonight filled with fear. They have no loving, nurturing primary nurturer to guide them through life.
The Body of Christ is capable - if it is willing to meet the needs of these children.
KidTrek is proposing a brand new paradigm of ministry to the “Invisible Children of America.” If you are interested please check KidTrek out at http://www.kidtrek.org or our blog at http://whymissionaries.wordpress.com/
May the Lord bless you as you strive to serve Him.

This video is so powerful! Those of us who love the children and youth of our world and care passionately about who they are and what they care about must pay very close attention to the changes happening in how we share information. The Paradigms have changed and will continue to change at a pace never-before experienced.
We can no longer expect to teach an assigned critical body of knowledge to our young but rather we must teach them how to interpret and manage information. We must enter this New World of technology and use it for Christ’s sake
This video reinforces for me what I have always known—we need to REALLY LISTEN to these young people! They want to be heard and they have so much to offer. I agree with “Yeskids” that these kids long for meaningful relationships with loving, caring adults. I’m ready! Send me!
I have such hope for this generation!
