An urgent assignment
Deuteronomy 6:4~9 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. (6~9)

We have a very urgent assignment. So many youth and young adults stumble, and ultimately crumble. While there are still those who succeed with great class, they have no strength to maintain this state, and do not have the strength to overcome problems. We must provide the broken youth with answers that will lead to success, and deliver the solution through which successful youth will not face failure after their success. What is the key that solves this problem?
1. Disciple ministry within the Bible
The city of Dothan, where Elisha gathered and trained his disciples, is the epitome of disciple ministry fields in the Old Testament (2 Kings 6:8~24). Lydia, along with Priscilla and her husband Aquila, gladly provided their homes for use by evangelists, and these homes became important mission fields (mission homes) in the New Testament. Paul, who went to the meeting halls in each region to relay the Gospel and train disciples, ministered very well to the young generation.
2. Work of other religions
We see that the important evangelism strategies detailed in the Bible are in fact applied by other religious organizations. The Freemasons build meeting places called ‘lodges’ in each region, and wherever Jews gather, they build a synagogue to relay their religion and culture to their posterity. The New Age movement is actively accessing the culture through advanced strategies.
3. Ministry of the future for the posterity
Our lives can change depending on what has been instilled in us from a young age. Childhood can become the first, last, or even only opportunity. Childhood is the golden opportunity to properly lay roots in the Gospel. Just as Samuel spread the Mizpah movement in his day, we must pray for the Remnant movement to arise and change the world. Elisha saved a nation in peril through the disciples he trained at Dothan. Because Paul knew the value of this movement, he earnestly entered the lecture halls where many people gathered. Remnants need to receive an elite education. They must learn to enjoy reading, and must develop their physical strength. They must be able to succeed in deep meditation, scheduled worship, and scheduled prayer. They must hold on to one Scripture a day and confirm it. No matter how small, they must put evangelism into action and have specialization in their work and academics.
- Put into action training that is important for you in order for you to rise up as a Gospel elite looking on to the age.
