We don’t want something from you, but for YOU. In fact, were sending this letter to give you a gift! The Gift of Hope for the family.
During the past weeks in various gatherings and social media articles a recurring theme emerges… Our Young Families Have Lost Their Way! Is this true?
People are deeply concerned about the next generation. Some are looking for a silver bullet. And I believe God has given it to Victorious Family and you as a Christian parent or grandparent.
Of all people, you certainly understand to love them well you must prioritize them. Be available for them. Share stories with them. Experience life with them. Train them up in the instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4
For 26 years, Wanda and I have been intentional about family discipleship – the way I was intentional as a leader in companies like Johnson & Johnson, Citi, and The Coca-Cola Company. But raising our children up in the Lord was far more important. This was my kids! This is Mission Critical.
We wanted to raise them up in the Lord but for many years felt totally inadequate to do so. In our inadequacy, we found God’s sufficiency.
This past Sunday, we were together in a conference call with our grown children. Our efforts to love them and keep them connected to God seems to still be working. Every 2nd Sunday at 8:30pm we’re still having our family time where we (and their spouse) are praying together, studying God’s word, and doing life together.
One of the best things about our family discipleship time is witnessing what happens. They are growing in their faith, And they still like us! And love and respect us, too. But truly, best of all, they are now adults who are following Jesus. And, can you believe it, we’re grandparents, our kids are parents, loving their kids. There more of us to discuss during our bi-weekly calls now!
As the Lord would have it, during the past decade we have shared our passion and approach to family discipleship formally and informally in many ways. This passion has grown beyond our imagination and capabilities…
After much prayer, the decision was made to dedicate our life’s work to full-time Kingdom expansion through parenting ministry. In late 2019, Victorious Family, a non-profit organization whose mission is to equip and empower family champions who will make mature and thriving parents was launched.
I’m reaching out to you today because you understand the challenges leadership faces in this season of launch. We have been walking by faith to take Victorious Family deep into the lives of a few. Over the past three years we have launched several family awareness campaigns funded by Google Grants, faith donor partners, foundations, and my personal funds. To date, Victorious Family has received 8M views and 1.4M clicks of interest from parents we have targeted. GOD HAS SHOWN UP in amazing ways!
So, we’re on our way. But honestly, I need some help to reach these respondents…we cannot offer the training resources that will impact their families today, without your support. We must expand the ministry’s digital platforms, human resources, transformational materials in various languages, and financial resources. And finally, some very exciting news…We are developing a digital in-class experience for guardians of parents who desire to disciple their children! Wow, praise the Lord. He has opened the door to reach them where they live, work, and play; yes, right where they are.
I am making some decisions right now and I would like your prayers and financial support. Timing is of the essence. Parents are hurting and desperately seeking our help and resources. At least some 1.4M I know of are sure interested in raising their kids in the Lord, the very best they can! And I want to be able to respond. Victorious Family is at a critical point in its life. We must not lose this God given momentum.
I am trusting God for what He has done and will do. I am trusting that you can help this become a reality. To equip a generation, to reach a generation!
