You Can Succeed

Raising children while living among people who do not share one's cultural values is a challenge that God's servants have faced since Bible times.  Moses' parents succeeded , thought he was raised in Egypt.  (Exodus 2:9, 10) A number of the exiled Jews  in Babylon raise children who were willing to return to Jerusalem to reestablish true worship. -Ezra 2:1, 2, 64-70. 

Likewise, today, Christian parents can succeed.  They may have the reward of hearing their children say what one couple heard  from their children: "We are  a very close family  because of the loving care of Dad and Mom, with whom we have always enjoyed good communication. We are happy to be a part of the earth-wide family that is serving Jehovah."
