Promoting family ministry in your church
God established churches to be incubators for Kingdom of God activists... people committed to living out Kingdom principles and compassionately touching lives of those living in communities around them.
Mission as Life views families as a microcosm of the church. God has gifted family members and placed them in a context for ministry. God expects parents to be the spearhead in spiritual instruction. Following Jesus' pattern of ministry, service becomes the catalyst for not only applying truth learned, but discovering in an experiential manner truth revealed in scripture. Jesus took people to places and used the experience as a vehicle for new teaching.
