Sometimes I have concerns about the future of Christianity as I believe it with the core doctrines, and at a seeming decline in committed Christians. But working with our church's AWANA program has given me hope. Last night we had the overnighter for the older kids (3rd through 6th grades) that we work with. We opened the night with a circle of prayer and I was struck with a beautiful hope as I heard so many of them voluntarily offer up their own prayers for the night and for other people. Hope and confidence in God's promises for the future can be found in a child's faith and hearing a child's honest prayer--knowing that God is always using us to plant seeds and water them-- that there will always be a generation coming forward until God returns and establishes His eternal Kingdom in a new Heaven and a new Earth.
