Why did you come forward today?

• As much as possible, try to ask open-ended
  questions.
• No matter why the child came forward, make this
  experience a positive one!

5
Have you ever done this before?

• We want the children to understand eternal
  security. (Once a person is truly saved they are
  always saved.)
• Once again, make this a positive experience.

6
Yes. . .Tell me what you did back then?

• This is an open-ended question, it will allow the
  child to tell you exactly what they did.
• This is better than asking, Have you been saved
  before? They could say, Yes. And you wont
  know what they believe.

Salvation

• Speak in simple terms!

Everyone has sinned
1

• Let the child know that even you, as an adult
  have sinned.
• If the child refuses to admit they are a sinner,
  then thank the child for coming forward and pray
  with him or her.
• If the child doesnt admit to being a sinner
  dont try to convince them.

  way that would frighten the child.
