What was your biggest hope for the family teaching series we are just completing?
God has a huge, special, and unique purpose for each family. It is my hope that each family see that purpose and allow God to unfold it for them. However, seeing and understanding God's purposes do not happen just by chance. Just as we, as individuals need to put ourselves in the position to hear God's voice, families need to do the same thing. And do it together. This is accomplished through prayer, worship, reading of the Word of God, bringing God into a visible and central position in the home.
Why should somebody change your mind at the last minute and attend the family vision workshop today?
We have waived the late fee. People can register today at the Ask-Me-Desk and come at 3:00 pm. The Family Vision workshop is a way for families to begin the journey of finding their unique purpose. It helps families develop their unique, God-given, multi-generational vision and mission that becomes the core of their children's belief system.
What are your three top goals for family ministries at New Hope?
1. Each family discover their God-given mission, vision and purpose.
2. Parents understand the call to be the primary spiritual mentor of their children.
3. Parents feel empowered and supported in their role as primary spiritual mentor of their children
What are your biggest needs in ministry?
It's easy to always say volunteers and more money. But I've come to realize that our greatest need is an army of pray-er who will pray for our families and children. Who will pray for a hedge of protection for the marriages, family units, children and youth in our church against the influences of the prevailing culture?
What should every parent know?
Satan has his eye on your children. Even before they were born, he already had a detailed plan for capturing your children.
God has given parents a detailed plan of attack. That plan is found in Deuteronomy 6:4-9. However, it is up to each mom and dad to take up the call and implement the plan. The church and the pastors cannot do this job for parents.
