I’ve never met Faith Chang, but she clearly has a heart of a shepherd-parent. In her article, Nurturing a Missional Heart in Our Children, recently shared by Lausanne Movement, I felt like Provision, Protection, and Presence were oozing out of every line!
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.
Psalm 127:3
I pray that if you’re a parent or grandparent, you’ll take a moment and read her thoughts here and hear God’s instruction, as well, in this area of influence and impact. May it affect how to live into your calling.
Please let me know what you think below!
DIGGING DEEPER QUESTIONS:
- While we’re busy mobilizing and leading others, how can we help our own children grow a heart for the lost in the world?
- What are ways parents can instruct, guide, and release children to participate in God’s global work?
- How do you balance being a shepherd leader to those you lead and being a parent or uncle/aunt to the children in your sphere of influence?
