Christine Darg addresses the urgent importance of sharing your faith with children because 83% of all Christians make their commitment to follow the Lord Jesus between the ages of 4 and 14. The Barna Research Group conducted a survey showing that American children ages 5 to 13 have a 32% probability of receiving Jesus, but after that age, the likelihood drops dramatically. Youth or teens aged 14 to 18 have only a 4% probability of receiving the Lord. And the way society has been trending, adults age 19 and over have just a 6% probability of becoming followers of Jesus. So the bottom line is—reach people when they’re young! All of this data illustrates the importance of influencing and reaching children when they are tender-hearted.
