Dare to Be A Daniel

"Children are an heritage to the Lord". The children of America are under attack like never before. This is not a physical attack, it is an attack on their faith. It is an attack on their young morals. With public schools pushing anti-Christian agendas and the media dumping heaps of immoral images into homes daily, children need the Lord. What is the best way to reach these children at risk? First of all, it is the parents that have the most influence over children's lives. A Christian parent must walk the walk, even more than they must talk the talk. What about those children that do not have Christian parents, or whose parents are backslidden bad examples? The best hope to reach these kids are the other kids around them. In recognition of that fact, Franklin Graham has created a program called "Dare to Be A Daniel". This program, named after the Old Testament hero Daniel, teaches children to be an effective witness to other children. "D2BD" uses 21st century technology to teach kids to teach a timeless message. The introductory packet includes a CD ROM for your computer, memory verses, a letter to the pastor or youth pastor and a link to the D2BD website. The only weak spot in the otherwise strong program is the use of NIV verses as opposed to the KJV. The program, as a whole, is a very good program and worthy of your time if you have children.
