  1. Leading a Child to Christ—The Salvation ABC’s How shall they ask him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? (Romans 10:14)

  2. What does child evangelism mean? Child evangelism is a process in which crisis conversion is preceded by careful Christian teaching and is followed by more teaching, or nurturing, which helps children become established in their Christian experience. (Robert D. Troutman)

  3. Why do we evangelize children? • Children are born with a sinful nature. • Children are responsible for the sins they commit. • Children need help to cope with the negative influences of today’s society.

  4. When are children ready for conversion? • When children feel a need to have their own relationship with the Lord. • When children question if they will go to heaven. • When children feel guilty about doing something they know is wrong. • When children are sorry for doing something and are afraid that they will do it again or won’t be able to stop.

  5. When are children ready for conversion? • When children express a concern about whether they have a relationship with the Lord. • When children understand what Jesus did to make salvation possible. • When children have the ability to make a rational choice. • When children are move/convicted by the Holy Spirit.

  6. What spiritual concepts should a child know? • Children need to know they are sinners. • Children must know what sin is. • Sin displeases God and brings punishment. • God loves children and does not want them to “die” for their sins. • Jesus never sinned. Jesus is the only one who can save us from our sins.

  11. How do you invite children to be saved? • Be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. • Remember children have a will of their own. • Have a plan of action. Know what you will say and do. • Use words the children can understand. • Allow enough time for the Holy Spirit to speak to the children, but do not prolong the invitation if there is no response.

  12. What do you say when the child responds to the invitation? • Gain the child’s attention by calling the child by name or touching the child’s arm. • Ask the child why he or she came to the altar. • If the child expresses the need to be saved, use Really Living to explain the way of salvation. • Have the child pray in his or her own words. The child may prefer to repeat a prayer after you. • Let the child tell you what God did for him or her. • Pray a thank-you prayer. • Follow up.
