Redefining Children's Ministry in the 21st Century: A Call for Radical Change
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
Our Children Were Made for Signs & Wonders! Children often make a decision to leave the church when they are as young as ten to twelve years old because they find our Sunday Schools boring. By the age of thirteen many feel they know everything there is to know about the Bible and God and feel no further need of attending church. Could this be because we have underestimated their spiritual potential and have been content to feed them a repetitive diet of basic Bible stories over and over again?
It’s time the collective body of Christ reevaluate and redefine what valid disciple-making, equipping children’s ministry really is. If we never teach them the deep truths of God’s Word and never give them opportunities to encounter God’s presence, we are giving them head knowledge with no heart knowledge. We are giving them religion without relationship. It leaves them empty and still searching.
We must understand it’s imperative that we equip the little saints for the work of the ministry, and train their hands for war in the spirit at tender ages when they are the most open and hungry to learn the things of God. We have just a short window of opportunity to capture their hearts for the Kingdom of God, so we cannot wait for a more convenient day.

I believe Becky is writing some of the greatest groundbreaking material about children today. Her passion and heart for children along with her ability to communicate the importance of training children to do the work of the ministry is unparalleled. This book is a call for a completely new way we should look at children’s ministry.

Becky Fischer speaks with authority into the lives of a new generation of children and youth. While she is an incredible apostolic mother to the emerging generation of children, her message is for all generations. She is one of the leading voices for training the next generation to know the Bible as more than a history book as she also to teaches them to do signs and wonders today like they did in the book of Acts. The coming revival will be an intergenerational move of God. Becky reminds us we cannot forget to bring the children with us.

I love and appreciate Becky Fischer and her heart for children. We were blessed to have Becky as the children’s pastor to our XP Church online for two years reaching families around the world. We were impressed to see the depth of teaching she provided to the children, and fully back her in what she is contributing to the world of children’s ministry by teaching the strong meat of the word and bringing kids into signs and wonders. We respect and honor her deeply.
