It's a Family Affair

It’s about us, as a family, aligned in and for God’s purpose in a new season for our lives.

It’s standing with our teachers and systems to ensure the best for our children.

Far greater than anything we could participate in, is the health and wholeness of our family. The greatest asset you have is your family.

The family unit is the first institution formed in the Bible before any church or government.

It’s God’s design that the family is how God intended His glory and light to be displayed in the earth. Family should be the most powerful force against sin and the highest motivation for godliness.

God’s family is the foundation of society and everything should be built upon that. This is a revival about returning and restoring the church and family to it’s original intent so that God’s dominion would be in the earth again.

We must have God’s view for our children. We’ve got a responsibility to raise our children and train them in the things of God. The plan of God is to instill in children what God has spoken over their lives.

God valued the family unit so highly that He had to make sure Joseph stayed in the picture as Jesus’ earthly father so He could get everything He needed.

The greatest thing we can do for children is to tell them who they really are: sons and daughters of the most High.
