Companions on the Journey:
Coming Alongside Children and Youth
​
2024 Home Mission Project
​
Our Home Mission Projects are opportunities for women to reach out to others within the Atlantic Provinces.
“we will tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
and the wonders that he has done.” Psalm 78:4
​
Scripture is filled with exhortations and examples of sharing faith with the next generation. Yet adults often struggle to develop meaningful relationships with children and youth that provide opportunities to share their faith. During his interMISSION 2023 workshop on the importance of building relationships, Rev. Dan Pyke, Director of CBAC Youth and Family, spoke about how youth are losing trust in authority because they often see leaders failing to engage in issues that matter to youth. Rev. Pyke offered three suggestions for adults seeking to become trusted by youth: 1. give youth the experience of being noticed, 2. commit to knowing the names of youth, 3. practice nonjudgement.
​
Atlantic Baptist Women’s 2024 Home Mission Project focuses on becoming trusted adults for children and youth. It offers stepping stones to initiating meaningful relationships and building blocks to strengthen those relationships. There are three steps in the project: consider, connect and cultivate.
