We at Jesus Film Project encourage you to get involved in ministry to children anywhere and everywhere you can. The time has come for the significance of the "4-14 Window" to be brought to the forefront of the local church’s ministry strategy, and for parents and churches to work together in their respective God-given roles to raise up spiritual champions, minister to children in and through your church, and engage them with the gospel in your home and neighborhood.

What is the 4-14 Window? The 4-14 Window represents a period of opportunity (between the ages of 4 and 14) to reach children when they are most open to the gospel and during which they are being profoundly shaped in their cognitive, social, moral and spiritual development.

In George Barna’s new book "Transforming Your Children Into Spiritual Champions, " his research discovered that a person’s lifelong behaviors and views are generally developed when they are young—particularly before they reach the teenage years. Barna showed data indicating that in most cases people’s spiritual beliefs are irrevocably formed when they are pre-teens (from Barna Research Online; November 17, 2003 Update - "Research Shows That Spiritual Maturity Process Should Start at a Young Age"; www.barna.org).

Seek every opportunity to minister to children. And investigate the Ministry Ideas and Volunteer Opportunities available via this page to utilize “The Story of Jesus for Children” in those opportunities.
