I think the feeling that Ebenezer does not care about kids is based on things said by, honestly, only two or three people. I have been in meetings before, or heard “water cooler” talk that would make me believe there are people who do not like children around here. But I firmly believe it is only a couple of vocal people.
There are some who do not believe we need to build, or that we are capable, or that I am capable of leading such a task. And, they are RIGHT!! Only GOD is able to do ANY of that anyway. There are some opposed to calling a minister of chidren, because they do not have children that age anymore and this person will not impact them directly.
Remember that God is in control. HE CARES ABOUT KIDS, and because He does, WE DO TO!! We have to be obedient to Him, even if a couple around us are squealing because they don’t like it. They (actually, we all) will answer for things like that one day.
