I have a word for Christian teens and kids of all ages.  Do you know that revivals of Christianity usually come through young people?  That’s historical.

I still remember my early days of ministry. I think it’s important to remember the lessons you learned early on and to keep those in mind as you move forward. I learned many things from those first days on the radio and holding public campaigns.

Once, on Independence Day, I was in a small cow town of Argentina, with gauchos on horseback, high school bands playing, and the government people and the politicians giving speeches.  We went right up to the mayor and we said, “Can I come up on the platform and for ten minutes explain what we believe about Jesus Christ?”  They chased me out, so we all left.  We had two missionaries who played the trombone and the baritone. A hundred yards away from the parade they started playing really loud, and a big group of people came over just to see what was going on.  About 70 of them followed us to an empty building that we hired, and 37 of them came to know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

So, as a young person, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” That’s what the Bible says.
