In January 2026, Apostle Alton R. Williams ministered a message called "Why We Did Not Pass It Down." It explained why generations of parents did not pass down godly knowledge, wisdom, and values to their children. After the message, several young single mothers approached him and his wife, Elder Sherrilyn Williams, and asked what specifically they should teach their children. They did not know where to begin. 

This is the purpose of Passing God Down to Your Children - Equipping Your Children with Faith That Lasts a Lifetime PDF, an invaluable resource for sharing God's wisdom with families. Alton and Sherrilyn Williams came together to create a list of Bible stories and values they learned in church or at home. This book features creative ways to share God's truth with children, Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments, God's promises for children, moral values, prayers for parents and children, and more! 

They did the work of sharing these truths with their five children at an early age. As a result, all their children are worshipping and serving the Lord in some capacity. And they, too, are imparting God's truth to others. God's Word has proven to be true, and it will bless you and your family if you pass it down. 

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6 KJV).
