Ministry to Provide Gospel Literature to Children in High-Conflict Areas
November 12, 2008 – 2:18 pmInternational (MNN) ― The recruitment of child soldiers in high-conflict areas is expected to grow.
Although the use of children as soldiers is universally condemned, over the last ten years thousands of children have been forcefully inducted in high-conflict areas.
These children are frequently killed or injured during combat or while carrying out other tasks. They are forced to engage in hazardous activities and to live under harsh conditions, and they are usually treated brutally.
The problem is most often connected with Africa, but children are also used as soldiers in various Asian countries and in parts of Latin America, Europe and the Middle East.
Book of Hope teams are countering this practice with the Book of Hope and with the movie, Godman. Book of Hope’s Bob Hoskins explains, “This month, we’re targeting seven nations that we can’t even name because they would be considered almost closed to the Gospel. We have faithful workers there who are willing to take the risk and sacrifice, and all they’re asking us is to provide the books and prayer.”
