Every first Sunday of each month, we conduct youth prayer and fellowship. God called Israel to teach their young to obey and revere the Lord.  (Deuteronomy 4:9-10).  Deuteronomy 6 indicates that great effort should be taken to ensure that the word of God is passed on to the next generation.  (see also Exodus 11, 13).  Psalms repetitively declare that God should be made known to future generations (Psalms 22:30, 33:11, 100:5, 102:12).  Joel 1:3 succinctly summarizes the mandate to pass God’s prophetic word on to younger generations: “Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation.”  We are to “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it” (Proverbs 22:6).  God’s people are admonished: “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth!” (Ecclesiastes 12:1)
