Tragically, this message that the world is sending to our children every day is the
polar opposite of what we should be teaching them according to Scripture.

This is why your support is enabling Amazing Facts to fight back—with
programming like Amazing Adventure, still being seen by thousands of kids daily
around the world. We’ve also increased the number of resources for children in our
bookstore, and they have become some of our most popular items. You’re helping to
meet the need of thousands of parents wanting to lead their children to Christ!

When we give a drink of spiritual water to thirsty children, it’s as if we’re giving it
to Jesus himself. “I was thirsty and you gave me drink,” and, “In as much as you have done it
for the least of these you have done it for me.”
“Feed My Lambs.”

When our youngest headed off to college recently, my wife and I began
experiencing the “empty nest.” After years of hectic activity revolving around our kids,
the house has become eerily quiet. Yet now that all our children are adults, we have
become more acutely aware how important that early training really was.

Jesus commanded, “Feed my lambs” (John 21:15). That’s why Amazing Facts wants
to feed every child the Bread of Life as soon as possible. Our goal is that thousands
of youth from both Christian and non-Christian homes will hear the gospel today and
make the eternal decision to follow Jesus.

And children are listening to the Amazing Facts programs you make possible. Kids
as young as five call into Bible Answers Live with simple but sincere questions of faith. I
firmly believe that if we treat our children like they are our brethren in Christ, they will
respond to His message of grace and life transformation.

Even now, perhaps as you read this letter, I’m presenting Heroes of Faith: Stories of
Salvation for the Whole Family, a program designed to reach kids as much as adults. We
even produced “Amazing Heroes Activity Pages” so children can be more engaged as
they meet the true heroes of His-Story, the Bible.
A River of Life

I feel deeply impressed that Amazing Facts needs to produce even MORE resources
specifically to reach the hearts of children. But past experience has taught us children’s
resources are some of the most labor intensive and expensive to produce. The odd
shapes, extra colors, and creative design that goes into these soul-winning publications
make them expensive to produce.

But I believe the children are worth it!
I know you do too. Because as the world seduces our children to go down the
popular highway to destruction, you are offering a positive alternative through
Amazing Facts.

(over, please)
