One of the key texts for the Biblical basis for reaching children is found in Matthew Chapter 18.

This passage is one of the foundation texts that the Lord used in the life of the Rev. Jesse Irvin Overholtzer, the founder of Child Evangelism Fellowship almost 90 years ago in 1937.

Matthew Chapter 18:1-14 are powerful verses that continue to build one upon another until the Lord Jesus reaches the climax of unveiling the will of the Father concerning one of these little ones saying, "Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish."
