The only way to ensure our kids don't leave the church when they're older is to lay a foundation of faith. While that's not 100%, we know that 70% of Christians came to know Christ between the ages of 4 and 14. Looking for a way to lay that foundation? Get one or both of our free devotionals to lead your kids and teens to God's Word every day. https://lnkd.in/e-x_Tkey

Seven of my articles have been published in the fall 2024 issue of Unlocked! If you would like to read them, feel free to order the issue, sign-up for the daily emails, or go to the Unlocked website on the day of the devotional or any day after. The days for my devotionals are September 3, 4, 18, October 1, 29, 30, and November 8.

Anastasia had to endure life under occupation in her village, Kovsharivka, in the Kupiansk district, which was under Russian control for an extended period. She vividly remembers the day her father came home, his face filled with worry, and said, “I don't know what to do next…” For ten long months, Anastasia's family lived in isolation, completely cut off from the outside world, unaware of what was happening in Ukraine. Anastasia recalls, “It was very unsettling to encounter Russian soldiers on the street. We never knew what such an encounter might lead to. But the most terrifying time was during the de-occupation... On one hand, we felt immense joy, but on the other, we feared the heavy shelling that might start—and it did…” Eventually, they were evacuated to a dormitory in Kharkiv. Anastasia went with her grandmother, while her mother stayed behind to protect their home. During this time, Anastasia struggled deeply with depression, feeling as though life had ended and that nothing would ever be good again. Then, she received a Keys for Kids teen devotional titled Unlocked from our team. In a conversation with our Mission Eurasia volunteer, she shared, “It was as if the Lord Himself decided to help me sort through my feelings because I believed that Christians shouldn't fall into such a state. But after reading the chapter ‘Can a Christian Be Depressed?’ it was like my eyes were opened. I realized that I was okay. And now I'm on the path to recovery.” Unlocked has since become Anastasia's go-to book. We want to give a heartfelt thank you to Keys for Kids Ministries for being a beacon of hope in Anastasia's life and the lives of so many others. Their generous partnership and donations help make an eternal impact!

Sasha is only nine years old, yet at such a young age, she has already faced the fear of death, fear for her mother’s and grandmother’s lives, and the loss of her familiar world. The family now lives in the Kharkiv region, but Sasha’s home was once in Donetsk. She remembers how in every place they lived, there were always packed suitcases ready by the door. Sasha, her mother, and her grandmother would sleep fully dressed, prepared to flee in the middle of the night if necessary. When a Mission Eurasia volunteer asked Sasha, “What is your scariest memory?” she replied that it was both terrifying and funny at the same time: “I was so scared during one shelling that I hid in an empty suitcase.” Later, her mother searched everywhere for her. Sasha sincerely believes it wasn’t a coincidence that she received a Keys for Kids devotional. The chapter that particularly touched her was titled "Return Home." She explained, “I realized that missing home is normal (because I missed it so much!). I really want to go to school with my friends again. I loved my room so much... But the most important thing I understood is that our true home is in Heaven. And one day, we will all be home. For now, I pray for God to end the war.” In fact, Sasha asked if she could receive a few more copies of Keys for Kids to give to her friends because it had answers to many of the important and worrying questions they had. Thank you to Keys for Kids Ministries for providing these valuable resources!
