God is raising a new generation among those in the 4-14 window across the world to fulfil His Great Commission. Yet it is not going to be easy even to reach them for Jesus Christ, let alone raise them up to become agents of God’s transformation. This missions consultation aims to explore some of the challenges the Church has to face and overcome in order to reach and raise the 4/14 generation for God’s kingdom purposes. It will look at how to help churches change the paradigm that “Children are disciples in waiting” to “Children are disciples in training”. Strategies for reaching and raising the 4/14 generation will be examined.
