Gateway Publishing® presents a must-have resource for parents and pastors

HE STILL SPEAKS TO KIDS by Wayne Drain & Tom Lane

(Dallas-Fort Worth, TX – September 19, 2022) Gateway Publishing is pleased to announce the release of He Still Speaks to Kids: Teach Children and Young Adults to Hear God by Wayne Drain and Tom Lane on September 23, 2022.

Parents, grandparents, and pastors want the children, teens, and young adults in their lives to know God, but sometimes they’re unsure how to help that relationship grow. They believe God still speaks today, but want to know, How do I teach someone to hear His voice? Wayne Drain and Tom Lane are passionate about creating a lasting legacy of faith in the next generation. In this book designed for parents and anyone with a heart for the next generation, they teach readers how to lead kids to Jesus and develop environments for hearing God.

Through decades of prophetic ministry, Pastors Wayne Drain and Tom Lane have learned an incredible truth: God has something to say to everyone. “We believe the young and the young at heart can learn to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd just like grown-ups can. There is no junior Holy Spirit!” said Pastor Wayne. “Today, we are seeing a new generation of children

interested in hearing God. They love to hear their parents’ and grandparents’ ‘back-in-the-day’ stories of hearing God. It has been encouraging to witness a growing hunger among young people who want to have an encounter with God themselves.” Pastor Tom added, “One word from God changes everything in our personal lives and in our children’s lives as well.”

He Still Speaks to Kids follows the authors’ first book together, He Still Speaks: Embracing the Prophetic Today, a resource that lays a solid biblical foundation for the role of prophecy in the Church today.

Robert Morris, Senior Pastor of Gateway Church and best-selling author of more than 19 books, has been close friends with the authors for many years. He says, “There are no two men better suited to encourage and guide parents in teaching their kids about hearing God than Wayne Drain and Tom Lane. Their passion for prophetic ministry comes from a deep understanding of our heavenly Father’s heart to speak to us and from recognizing the divine appointments available to us in our everyday lives.” One of Pastor Robert Morris’ greatest desires is for the next generation to understand that God wants to speak directly to them. He writes in the foreword of He Still Speaks to Kids, “This wonderful book provides clear, easy-to-understand instructions for parents to help their children ‘grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord’ (2 Peter 3:18).”

Wayne Drain is the founding senior pastor of City Church (formerly Fellowship of Christians) in Russellville, Arkansas. His call is to pastor and prophesy to the nations, and he has ministered in 48 states and 39 nations to date. A local pastor for 45-plus years, Wayne has also ministered nationally and internationally through speaking, worship leading, consulting, and participating in prophetic presbyteries. Drawing from his perspective on hearing from God through prophecy, Wayne has articles published in Charisma, Worship Together, Compass, Proclaim, and Cross Rhythms magazines. He is also a worship leader and songwriter associated with Integrity Music and Capital Music Group/EMI. Wayne has been married to his wife, June, since 1972. They have three married children and four grandchildren.

Tom Lane serves as the executive pastor of the Tom Lane Executive Leadership Institute at Gateway Church in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX. Over the last 20 years, he’s served as apostolic senior pastor, executive senior pastor, and the Dallas campus pastor. As an elder, he provides spiritual governance for Gateway’s ministries. Tom has experience in a variety of church leadership roles, including business administrator, administrative pastor, executive pastor, and senior pastor. As a pastor to pastors, Tom is a long-standing, trusted Christian leader. He’s authored several books, including Tested and Approved, Foundations of Healthy Church Government, and Heritage. Tom and his wife, Jan, have been married for more than 50 years. They have four married children and 15 grandchildren.
