The statistics are alarming – between 70 and 85% of children that are brought up in the church leave the church once they get to college, most never to return.

A generation that, unfortunately, is neither armed nor educated when it comes to the topic of Biblical Truth.
In the video below I talk about this problem, and what we as parents, grandparents, and mentors can do to better prepare those of this generation that are in our communities. To equip them to carry and support the message of Jesus into a world of skeptics who are asking them the question – Why do you believe in God?
