RASING ON MISSION KIDS
COVER SECTION
By M. Steve Heartsill


All parents anticipate their child’s first words. We can’t wait to hear the unrecognizable babble that comes during infancy. A little later, we celebrate one-word sentences, “Mommy,” “Daddy,” and “Mine.” Then, parents glow when they first hear their child say, “I love you.”


Yet, the greatest words a Christian parent hears are not those one-word sentences or the early expressions of love for the parent. The greatest words come when a child confesses Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord.
