On Saturday, kids were the VIP guests at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the Teddy Bear Tea.
Every detail of the annual event is catered to a young audience, from colorful decorations to an age-appropriate Gospel message.
Author Tara McClary Reeves spoke during this year’s event. Her family has long been connected to the Graham family, ever since her father shared his testimony at a 1969 Billy Graham Crusade in Anaheim, California. In her message, Reeves recounted the Bible story from Matthew 14 that tells of Peter's walk on the water to meet Jesus. She reminded the children that Peter stepped out in faith, and only started to sink when he lost focus on his Savior.
