Becoming A Sending Parent Article

Emily Peters, North Main Kidway Director & Assistant Youth Director

As 16 students alongside their leaders head out to the ends of the earth this week, we are covering them in prayer. 

Praying that people would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. 

Praying that this team would return safely. 

Praying that this will be a time of spiritual growth for the students and leaders as they further discern God’s plan for their lives. 

As we’re stateside, it can be scary to send our children out. This week’s parent resource speaks to the worries associated with sending loved ones out long term but many of which could be real concerns in the short trips too. For families with children on this team and those who may send their children in the future, this resource speaks to the parents' role of raising their children to be mission-minded.
