Yesterday, I attended Youth Specialties’ the Core Conference. A bulk of the conference was about empowering your youth to be world changers. It was a great time (I’ll post a review this week) and what I took from it was that I can’t simply expect my youth to get involved in changing the world - my own children need to be involved as well. So when I got home, we had a family meeting and discussed several areas that they can participate. James and Aida voted on saving their allowance to buy mosquito nets for kids in Africa to prevent the spread of Malaria.

Sometimes as Christians, we begin to believe that we can change the world by inviting people to church. - but we’ve forgotten how Christ calls us to help the hurting, feed the poor, and care for those who can’t care for themselves. If we offer Christ, but don’t offer help, we’ve misrepresented the gospel.
