PASSION FOR LIFE

We often ask kids, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

We have hopes for them. We are excited of the decision they will make. We want them to succeed in life.

The above question also reflects on our yearnings of how the kids of today can change the world of tomorrow. Will they become doctors that are pro-life? Will they be honest businessmen and politicians? Will many of them answer the call to religious vocation?

We often hear them answer, “I want to be a doctor.” Other popular answers are, “scientist, astronaut, fireman, and president.” Kids have dreams. And they mold their dreams based on what they see from their parents, their community, on TV, the internet, and at school.

Whatever their ambitions may be, the challenge is that we have to prepare them to be Christ-like. To be Christ-like engineers, nurses, lawyers, or artists. We hope to hear them answer, “I want to be like Christ” above anything else. A portion of KFC’s vision statement is “…guided by the Holy Spirit in preparing Christ-like leaders…” We have to be one in with our vision and start molding today’s kids to be like Jesus.

We hear much about Generation X or Generation Y, defining what kids are today and how technology, media, and culture are affecting the way they make decisions. In CFC Kids for Christ, we are raising “GENERATION CHRIST.” A new generation that loves the Lord and follows His ways. A generation where corruption will be a thing of the past and loving one’s fellowman is practiced by treating the poor as brothers and sisters. It is a generation where Christ is the center of their lives.
