→Christian conversion within a family statistics
Patrick Morley wrote in his 1997 book ''The Man in the Mirror'': "In a Denver crusade, Dr. Billy Graham spoke about this verse of Scripture (Acts 16:31), indicating that they had learned that in homes in which the father came to faith in Christ first, the entire family came to faith in sixty percent of the cases. When the wife came first, forty to fifty percent of the families all accepted Christ. And in families in which a child came to Christ first, twenty-five percent of them saw their entire family become Christians."<ref>Patrick Morley, 1997, The Man in the Mirror, “Chapter Eight: Children: How to Avoid Regrets,” Grand Rapids: Zondervan, p. 113</ref>

== 4/14 movement ==
The 4/14 movement, also called the child [[evangelism]] movement, is a Christian missionary strategy that focuses on evangelizing children.
=== History of the 4/14 movement ===
According to Dr. Mark P. Gonzales:
{{Cquote|This marvelous aphorism, popularized by pastor and writer Henry Blackaby 20 years ago, crystallizes how we should approach the Christian life. It is also a wonderful conceptual starting place in trying to describe a global movement of God that began to emerge in 2004. Since then, this 4-14 Movement has been rapidly growing like a powerful wave to catch — a great metaphor from Rick Warren’s first book, The Purpose Driven Church, where he compares a major move of God’s Spirit with the big wave that seasoned surfers seek to catch and ride. While it looks relatively easy to do when watching the sport from the beach, it is actually enormously difficult and requires critical timing and expert balance. Well, regarding the emerging 4-14 Movement, the wave is upon us. We don’t want you to miss it, and thus miss out on what God is doing.<ref>[https://www.renewanation.org/post/catching-the-wave-of-the-emerging-4-14-movement Catching the Wave of the Emerging 4-14 Movement]</ref>}}
