Ministering to families when they lose a child by Shane Cooke

Free Resource for April

There is no greater joy than ministering to Children. It is a privilege and honour bestowed upon us which comes with endless rewards. From that moment we see these little treasures being dedicated or consecrated to the Lord by parents before the church congregation or that first day in our kids Ministry rooms, the shy little smile as they look for an assuring face amongst the crowd ready to begin their faith journey amongst their peers and friends. There are many of these rewarding moments that bring us great joy. There are countless interactions we have with the children and their parents throughout the years as we partner with parents to inculcate Biblical truths along the faith journey.

Thank God there are more of these days than those individual terrible days where we are called upon to walk the journey of heart breaking loss as a family tries to make sense and come to terms with the grief of losing a child.
