Grandparents as Disciple Makers

One of the main principles we want to communicate over and over again is
Parents are the primary disciple makers in a child's life.  
This DOESN'T mean parent are the only disciple makers in a child's life.
This is an article on the role grandparents play in the disciplemaking process.

Here are a couple of quotes from the article:

"Seniors must remember what it was like to be young, and the young must remember that they may one day become seniors. We must be patient with one another."
“Every Timothy needs a Paul, and every Ruth needs a Naomi.”
"A young believer needs an older believer, someone seasoned in his or her spiritual walk to mentor and guide toward spiritual maturity."
