22:6

Summer was a time to learn about Christianity and have fun. Children participating in 22:6 did this many different ways. They went to church and studied in Sunday School. They visited nursing homes and put what they learned about loving others into practice.

Some went to a gym where an adult volunteer read the Bible to them. They were taught that God created the world. They were taught why Christians believe in Jesus and how sin came into the world. They learned that it is faith in Jesus that saves us.

They were invited to Vacation Bible School at a Lutheran Church, Christ the King. You see kids holding their certificates of completion.  Teachers are saying the kids are showing improvement in learning and in attitudes. Pray for them. Pray for us to reach more children for Jesus Christ.

22:6 reached out to children and families in Waskom, Texas and Marshall, Texas. They were given Bible flyers on what Christians believe and what God's plan is for marriage. Which is that only men and women should marry. The outreach was well received.  It's inspiring to see all the Pro-Life billboards in Waskom. On the way back to Louisiana, there was a brief outreach in the 70th Street area in Shreveport. One family and friends participated in a prayer for God's guidance and blessings in this New Year 2026 and beyond.

What does 22:6 mean?

22:6 comes from Proverbs 22:6 in the Bible which says, "Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it." 

"Without you, I would have had no one to teach me about Jesus."--A 9 year old participant

100% of participants in 22:6 polled said, as adults they will take their children to church.
