Ministry to the Children

Why Reaching Children with the Gospel is Urgent Today — and How You Can Help

Welcome to Marisol Pareja Ministries — a mission-driven effort dedicated to sharing the gospel message for children in this critical generation.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned since coming to faith in Jesus Christ, it’s this: Satan is relentlessly after our children.

For many years, I thought the battle was about me—until I realized it was truly about my daughter. The enemy’s goal is to distort truth, deceive, and destroy the innocence of children before they are old enough to know God’s plan for their lives.

But we can fight back—and we must.

Children are naturally open to the truth of God’s Word. They are protected by their innocence, but the enemy works tirelessly through cultural lies, education systems, media, and peer influence to gain access to their hearts and minds.

Unless we intentionally teach them the gospel for kids and give them a biblical foundation, they will be swept away by the spirit of this age.

Consider this vital research from the Barna Group:

• Ages 4–14 is the most receptive age range for the gospel message for children.
• Nearly two-thirds of Christians come to faith before age 18.
• After age 21, the conversion rate drops to only one in four.

The takeaway is clear: we must reach children now—before the window closes.

Today, many unsaved parents do not take their children to church. So how do we reach them? 

Our ministry focuses on creative, practical outreach methods such as:

• Distributing Gospel tracts in parks, near schools, and in neighborhoods
• Leveraging digital outreach (many children—even at young ages—own smartphones)
• Partnering with churches to equip local volunteers to share the gospel for kids
• Publishing resources designed to present the gospel in a child-friendly, engaging way
•

I was saved at age 40. My daughter—by the grace of God—accepted Jesus at age 16, one year after my own salvation. Looking back, I regret not enrolling her in a Christian school. The influence of unsaved peers is more powerful than most parents realize.

In today’s culture—where harmful ideologies are aggressively promoted in public schools—parents must be vigilant. If possible, enroll your children in Christian schools, surround them with godly mentors, and teach them from an early age that the Bible is the ultimate standard for truth—not culture or social media.

Sadly, many churches undervalue children’s ministry. It is often treated as childcare instead of a vital outreach mission. But research proves otherwise:

• Strong children’s ministries draw families into the church and increase engagement.
• Healthy children’s programs contribute to overall church growth and vitality.
• Neglected children’s ministries often result in families drifting away from the church.

When we invest in reaching children with the gospel message for children, we are planting seeds of faith that can last a lifetime—and ripple through future generations.
