A Time To Sow

Isaiah 11:1-6 is a passage I love to read over and over again, but verse 6 is the verse I love most:
"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopards shall lie down with kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."

This scripture describes the new earth and isn't it worth noting how significant a little child is in it? Then, why do we pay so little attention to how our children, tomorrow's church, are growing? Shouldn't the church today, alongside our outreach programmes and missionary work to reach the unreached with the Gospel of Christ, be also very, very interested in the state of those who would be tomorrow's church?
