BUSY! BUSY! But too busy to share God's love and message? Not possible.

Raising children is an incredible blessing and ministry, so it should rightly consume much of our thought life and physical and emotional energy.

Sadly, many Christian parents respond to this by retreating into their families and homes and lose site of their calling and capacity from God to share about Christ with new people.

Yet failing to share the Gospel with non-Christians will result in a failure to fulfill Christ's call to make disciples of all nations. Additionally, we do our children a grave disservice when we aren't demonstrating consistently what it means to “love your neighbor as yourself.”

Clearly, as parents, we must be creative in trying to find ways to be used by God to extend the love of Jesus Christ to a lost world. One way to do this is to find ways to include our children as we reach out to others. Play groups create one context for doing just that.
