The Hand (vision)
  •Making Disciples
  •Reaching the Unreached
  •Engaging Families
  •Nurturing the Whole Child
  •Building the Kingdom
  •Heart of the Leader

John 15:5, 8, 16
Can we finish the
                                  task?
COMMITMENT: Support each
other until the job gets done
  •The task is too large; we need
  each other (Esther’s Dots)
  •The world is drawn to Christ as
  we work together

The Numbers
   •Can this be done?
   •1 for 50? Or 1 for 10 …?
   •The most important number: ONE
1.   Recent studies report that up to 75% of the
     children growing up in our churches are
     leaving their faith after 18. Is this true in
     your context? What makes them leave the
     church?
2.   What have you seen (in “the hand” or
     other) that leads to lasting outreach and
     discipleship of children? Give an example
     from your experience.
3.   In your context, what could be done to
     better train people to reach and disciple
     children?
      •    Who needs this training?
      •    What do they need to learn?
4.   How can we train 1 for 50? What will it take
     to do this in your nation, organization or
     community?
What Next?
Your Father in heaven is not
  willing that one of these
 little ones should be lost.

       Matthew 18:14
