As the youth pastor who is married to the children’s director, I pray about this frequently. We are blessed to have built up a good little team. It can be intimidating sometimes to proclaim God’s Word, even to children. (We have some rambunctious and “too intelligent” young’ins that can challenge the teachings!)
