Nurture Young Stewards HELP SITE Stewardship is a faith practice for every Christian that enriches our life at every age. Stewardship education begins with the understanding that God is the source of all that exists, and then we can explore how we are part of what God has brought into being. Young children will especially like the interactive nature of Church World Service's global educational site, Build a Village. Children and teens can see how life is different for children in other parts of the world, using a site of the United Nations. As children move into adolescence and the teen years, more complex questions arise about one's place in family life and in the world. Teens will benefit from the faith practices outlined at Way to Live, a web companion to the book by the same name, produced by the Valparaiso Project on the Education and Formation of People in Faith. Adults working with teens can find interesting information about youth trends and studies at the website of the National Study of Youth and Religion funded by Lilly Endowment Inc. Churches are beginning to see their ministry role in teaching financial literacy to young people. Straightforward financial knowledge and practices can be found at the Kiplinger Financial News site. To help teens start saving money, check out the website of Youth Saves. Financial habits are stewardship practices, and these sites will help families to consider their choices about spending, shopping, television use, and other decisions influenced by the media and advertisers:
