Imagine a world where young children grow up without ever hearing the name of Jesus Christ. Imagine them navigating the challenges of life without the foundational truth of John 3:16 or the hope found in the Gospel. Sadly, for many children in Kansas, this isn't imagination; it is their reality.
Currently, only 2% of children in Kansas are being reached with the Gospel. Furthermore, 80% of children are not being reached through traditional church settings. This creates a staggering spiritual gap. We cannot wait for them to come to us; we must go to where they are: in their neighborhoods, their trailer parks, and their public schools.
In this article, I address the importance of CYIA and how we cannot do it alone. We need your partnership.

Introduction to Child Evangelism Fellowship: What is CYIA? Many people have been wondering and asking, "What is CYIA? What is the purpose of CYIA? What age group can attend CYIA?

Defenseless to Defended: How to live a Christ-Centered Life Defenseless to Defended: How to live a Christ-Centered Life

This is a new chapter from Defenseless to Defended. The Book is in its final stages. Here it is. This is Chapter 37: "Dear God"

“Dear God” is a poem that reflects my relationship with God and is also a victorious prayer that attacks the venomous attacks that hang from Satan’s fangs. During the night, I face Satan’s attacks. To counteract these venomous attacks, I pray to God for help. This poem reflects my prayer life. One way I do this is by confessing my fears and my darkness before God. God is my comforting Rod. Without further ado, this is my poem “Dear God”

Dear God, I am writing.
This victory-filled prayer to you.
You are inseparable from me.
A true friend.
You are my rod.

You are here: inseparable from me.
You are my true and loyal friend.
You are an ever-present comforter.
You will never end—an everlasting king over me.

Your Word never bends—immovable and unshakable.
You are fending for me.
You set me free—free from the bo***ge of sin and death.
I will never bend from your Word.
You always set me on your straight Path.

You are my true compass.
You are my everything.
I will sing.
You will never pass over me.

You are my guiding light.
You shine in my darkness.
My darkness is like an immovable black hole
That I can never escape from on my own.
However, God bring the dawn
To my immovable black hole.
It is suffocating.

God’s Light penetrates my suffocating black hole.
God’s light opens my secret tin
Revealing my secret sin.
God’s light brings my secret sin to light.

I have no secret sin anymore.
I have confessed them all the more.
Despite all of this, I will continue to praise you.
Though I am facing my darkest moments head-on,
I made a binding commitment to you.

You shine in my night.
I am not afraid.
Afraid of what the night may bring.
I will sing to the everlasting king.

You are my comfort.
You are my guide.
You are my ever-present aid.
My defense is anchored deep,
around your steadfast Love.

You are my defense—an ever-present aid.
You build my defense with deep-rooted passion—the passion of Christ.
You are God’s son.

You are immovable.
You are able.
I can lean on you.
I shall not be afraid.

You are my awestruck God.
I shall not hide my sin in my secret tin.
You are my immovable Rod.
I shall not backslide.
I shall not want.
You are my comforting Shepherd.

Dear God,
Thank you for being my comforting Rod.
Thank you for being my Sword.
You are truly my Lord.
Dear God.
