KidminTalk #188 - A Discipleship Focused Ministry
Pastor Karl answers the question, "How do we disciple children when we only have one day a week at church?" It's a great question! He presents a full workshop from a recent conference where he talks about "What is discipleship?" and how to create a disciple-making strategy for your children's ministry.
Imagine if Jesus visited your children's ministry and said, "Show me one of my disciples." Would you know which of your kids are disciples? It's a thought to consider. Be ready to answer confidently!
