I believe outreach starts at home with our families and children. Parents should be teaching their children at home. One hour of instruction on Wednesday 9 mo out of the year and a couple hours on Sunday is not enough! We should be educating the youth and rather than shut down schools be adding them to our communities. The Catholic Church figures that out about 20 years ago when their numbers were drastically going down and they have been refocusing their efforts on parochial schools and they are not where they were but growing! This was reported by the demographics specialist from Washington DC in 1996 at the state teachers meeting KS. It isn't just the Catholic Church, but the baptists and other denominations as well. What do we do in foreign countries as missionaries? Start schools! We as a church have fallen short with our youth and they are leaving like flies. If we want out reach it starts at home in the home and at home with what we are doing in our own churches! We need to sweep off our doorstep and have the attitude of leaders this is what we "get" to do not " have " to do and look out but look in at we can and should be doing. Will this take money ? Yes! Will we need faith ? Yes!
