I grew up in a small church. There were probably never more than 15 or 20 children, pre-school to high school. As we grew up, we held the choir together; we taught Sunday School, Bible School, Bible clubs in open air, and in other ways learned the nuts and bolts of praise, worship, teaching and leadership. We didn’t know about Dr. Klassen—he was long after our time; but his observation might have been made from us. From our small group came two pastors, two international missionaries, a leader in Samaritan’s Purse, and a trained group of young adults who were ready to become leaders in their local churches.
