Ask a VOM Worker: What Can Kids Do?
A VOM worker who has traveled to 13 countries shared the following advice for kids.
Question: What can children do now to prepare to serve the Lord as adults?
Answer: I think that learning how to wield the power of prayer is very important, even for young kids. They shouldn’t just rely on their parents to pray. Kids should be praying themselves, for their parents, friends, classmates, etc.
I believe that one’s effectiveness in serving the Lord is dependent on that person’s communication with the Lord. The more attuned one is with God, the better that person will know how to serve.
I have one son. He is 3. I want him to realize at an early age how blessed he is to live in America, which is still a relatively free country. I want him to have the burden of praying for Christians in other nations who do not have those same freedoms.

This is very true, kids need to pray just as much as adults. I’m 12 and I find myself praying to God about all sorts of things, not just asking to pass a test in school or for safety for my family but thanking God for everything He has given to me. I also find myself praying for all the martyrs out there in the world. I encourage everyone to pray!
This is so true, I’m 12 and I pray alot. I find myself not only asking God for safety, but to thank Him for everything He has done for me. I also find myself praying for the persecuted in other countries, and I encourage others to pray as well.
I pray whenever I want to or need to. I’m 9 and I think praying is very important.
