Pizza/Bible Reading Ministry For Teens

God has blessed 22:6 to begin an outreach to teenagers only. Teens are at an age when they are under new pressures such as dating, peer pressure and the pressures to become involved in activities that could harm them. The society they live in is also becoming more anti-Christ and sinful lifestyles are being promoted to them as normal. It's a tough time to be a teen. They need the Bible more, not less than when they were in elementary school.  God has impressed the team members of 22:6 and parents to do more to connect teens to God's guidance so they can deal with the new temptations of being a teen.  The Bible is the best source of wisdom (James 1:5). 

So, Sundays for about an hour, as part of Teen Pizza/Bible Readings, groups of teens, aged 13 to 19, who want to do so, are beginning to meet to read God's Holy Word with the help of a 22:6 Activities Coach. A parent or guardian also participates or is present.  The teens read Bible passages, actually taking turns reading one verse each. Then there is a discussion of the Bible verses and how to apply them to their lives today.

 

Questions are encouraged and it's a honest discussion. Afterwards, they get pizza or/and other treats to eat. The first two sessions were in August 2026. The response has been enthusiastic. Pray for 22:6 to reach as many teens as God wants and that they will learn to read and rely on the Bible and be converted to faith in Jesus Christ, or at least have the seeds of faith planted. All praise to God that this teen ministry is up and running.

22:6 reached out to children and families in Waskom, Texas and Marshall, Texas. They were given Bible flyers on what Christians believe and what God's plan is for marriage. Which is that only men and women should marry. The outreach was well received.  It's inspiring to see all the Pro-Life billboards in Waskom. On the way back to Louisiana, there was a brief outreach in the 70th Street area in Shreveport. One family and friends participated in a prayer for God's guidance and blessings in this New Year 2026 and beyond.

Wedding Kiss Moment

The Bible says God's plan for marriage is that  1 man marries 1 woman. Period. No other marriage plan is approved by God or the Bible. Read: Genesis 2:24, Leviticus 18:22, Romans Chapter 1.

What does 22:6 mean?

22:6 comes from Proverbs 22:6 in the Bible which says, "Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it." 

"Without you, I would have had no one to teach me about Jesus."--A 9 year old participant

100% of participants in 22:6 polled said, as adults they will take their children to church.
