  • Parents learn to notice the work of the Holy Spirit in their child’s life.

  • Parents learn the importance of paying attention to their own gospel stories and help their children identify “gospel moments” in their own lives.

  • Children learn about their daily, spiritual needs and learn to look to Jesus for help.

  • By the grace of God, children have personal experiences of the realties of Ephesians 2.
