Brother T's policy concerning child evangelism is, “Train up a  child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart  from it” (Proverbs 22:6). That was why he often emphasized that parents  should teach the Word of God to their children right from cradle and the  Church has since paid a great attention to the elementary department of our  Sunday school.  

A child was admitted into the Sunday school class at the age of  four. He encouraged the use of visual teaching aids such as pictures,  flannel graph, slide projectors and concrete objects to make the lessons  interesting to the children. He instructed that simple language should be  used to teach the children and their lessons should be short and straight to  the point so that they would grasp what they were taught. 

He planned that children should be involved in many worship  activities such as singing, reciting memory verses in their classes and learning of music and how to play musical instruments. Moreover, they  should have services in their own church and their teachers must organize  special programmes for them for Easter, Christmas, Camp meeting and  special days such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Children's Day and  Independence Day. All these, according to him, would enlist the children's  interest in the things of God while they were still innocent, tender-hearted  and eager to learn. 

He launched campaigns to make parents release their children to the Church so that they could be taught the Word of God. Here is an  example of such campaigns: “To boost children Sunday school work,  teams were chosen from the elementary teachers and Sunday school  children collectors for campaign. On one occasion, the team went out in an  automobile to a place called New Lagos. 

“The public address system which was carried along was used in  calling both children and adult. When the children gathered had reached a  sizable crowd, they were taught a verse from the Scriptures to memorize.  This was repeated over and over. ‘This is my blood of the new testament,  which is shed for many for the remission of sins’ (Matthew 26:28). The  teacher then asked for who could recite the verse. The children who were  able to recite were encouraged with small gifts. This continued till more  children arrived. After a large crowd had gathered, the flanelgraph board  was set up and the Plan of Redemption was briefly taught with the aid of  the flanelgraph picture. At the close, 190 children were given the children  tract, “When I Was A Child” in English and Yoruba. A few copies of  literature were also given to the adults. Atotal of eleven prizes were given  to those who recited the memory verse very well. An announcement was  then made of the morning and afternoon Sunday school classes. Transport  would be provided and they were told the location where to gather for the  Sunday school collectors on Sundays.”  

So, children were brought from different homes for Sunday  schools, taught, given leaflets containing the Word of God and taken back  to their homes freely.
