Quotes from Gospel Centered Kids Ministry

A few weeks ago I finished reading Gospel Centered Kids Ministry by Brian Dembowczyk. He works for Lifeway and leads the team that produces Gospel Project for Kids Curriculum. Here are some quotes from the final chapters of the book:

We see that Jesus met the spiritual needs (teaching and preaching), the physical needs (healing), and emotional needs (compassion) of the people. 
Harvesting the fields always starts with me before they...Statistically, the ripest harvest field for the gospel falls in the demographic of kids.

God intends parents to talk about Him as a natural part of their rhythm of life.
Speak words of life to your parents.
