Are we one generation from extinction as a witnessing community? In a compelling and thought provoking presentation Mark Griffiths examines how the church reached the unchurched child in the past and details how many pioneering groups are seeking to do the same in the 21st Century. Mark will help you grasp how many are helping to restock the imagination of children with the message of Jesus and planting the seeds for many more generations of witness.
