I often talk about how we are missionaries to the next generation. The next generation of kids will number over 2 billion in the next few years. They truly are the greatest mission field in the world.
As missionaries to kids, we need to know what they like. This helps us to enter their world and show them that we care about what they care about. They are also great talking points when striking up a conversation with a child.
