Child, Church and Mission was designed to help churches and seminary students reach, equip, and empower children so that they can maximize their transformational impact for many generations. From a biblical perspective, it provides an overview of the child, poverty, and holistic child development, and thoughts on the relationships between holistic child development and the ministries of the church. This material may be used as a course of study in seminaries or Bible colleges and it mostly suitable for young adults and older (ages 18+). This material will also serve as a resource for training other groups and in other venues— such as training for children’s ministry workers, workers with at risk children, and training conducted by Christian child development networks. This is a downloadable book in PDF format.
