How to welcome Jesus in your life

"And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me." Matthew 18:5

Hello there, Edward! Got a minute or two?

If you’re looking for a practical and tangible way to make more room for Jesus in your life, here’s what He Himself says, “And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me” (Matthew 18:5 NLT).

Jesus wants us to take care of children. They’re weak, dependent, and vulnerable. Which means that they’re also easily swayed and influenced. So, it falls on us to guide them to the truth. Jesus even warns, “But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea” (v. 6).

So, this National Children’s Month, we invite you to join us in leading Filipino children to the Word of Truth. To do this, we came up with a free digital resource that you can share with children. It's a devotional reading that teaches the importance of the Bible. Plus, it comes with an activity! Just click the button below to download your free copy.

DOWNLOAD IT NOW

We pray that this resource will be useful to children you know. If you wish to help us develop more Bible-engaging resources for kids, you may support our ministry by clicking the button below.
