Ignite: Lighting the Fires of the Next Generation
"What if Vineyard churches committed the next ten years making kids and youth a priority with our time energy and money? Could we change a generation? Let’s find out as we step into what the Father is doing in this generation. It will take an “inter-generational” effort where we, as an “Integrated Vineyard Family”, rise up to the challenge God has presented to us. We can be God’s Torch Bearers as we light the fires of this generation to change the world!"

-- Rick and Becky Olmstead - Vineyard USA Children's Task force & Pastors at Vineyard Of The Rockies

Check out the book Becky recommends in the above video.

Part 1: For Such a Time as This
It’s time to realize that God is speaking to the church (the Vineyard) about making this generation of kids and youth a top priority. We exist for such a time as this. Like Ester, God has placed us strategically to Rescue, Reach, Root, Release and Resource a generation to change the world.

Part 2: Rescue a Generation at Risk
What if a generation of kids and youth who are trapped in the vicious cycles of poverty, violence, abuse and hopelessness were rescued and given a chance at a new life. In this session, Rick O takes a sobering look at the realities our kids face these days.

About the Book:
The time has come, argues Dr. Wess Stafford, for a major paradigm shift: Children are too important and too intensely loved by God to be left behind or left to chance. Children belong to all of us and we are compelled to intervene on their behalf. We must invest in children–all across the world.

There are strategic, persuasive reasons–beyond love and kindness–to invest in children. Today they may snuggle into your lap, if you let them. But tomorrow you may not have access to them in the corridors of power they might occupy. Now is the time to shape the future.

Dr. Stafford issues an urgent call for change. His adventures as a boy raised in a West African village provide an often-humorous and always-captivating backdrop to his profound and inspiring challenges. Wess lived the reality of “it takes a village to raise a child” and calls us to “be that loving village for children everywhere.”
This book will encourage you to turn your good, loving intentions into strategic actions and empower you to help change the world–and the future–forever: one child at a time.
