The Church needs elders who see faith as something to pass on, not just something to possess.

In Integrated Ministry, Lawson Murray reminds us that older generations have a vital role to play in helping younger people discover and follow Jesus. Elders who share their stories, pray with younger believers, serve alongside them, and model faithfulness become spiritual fathers and mothers to the next generation.
