Children Quote by Timothy Paul Jones
““Other leaders center on those who are far, designing their programs to bypass parents and reach children whose families are fractured and fragmented. The problem is this focus on reaching children directly can become so thoroughgoing that the church never explicitly expects any parents— even Christian parents—to disciple their children.””
