Parents, I need your help. In preparation for parenting ministry among Arab Christian parents, I need to gain experience. Would you help me by filling out this confidential parenting self-assessment and then meeting with me once for about an hour to talk about it? For those of you living far from us, phone is good, but video chat is better :-) Do you know other families that might benefit from this ministry? I need to meet with dozens of American families in English before I try to meet with Jordanian families in Arabic.
Having 8 kids doesn't mean that my wife and I know it all. It means that we've tried it all... and failed often! But all of us learn from our failures, don't we? None of us are perfect parents, but God uses each of us to sharpen and encourage one another, primarily within the context of the local church. Ever wonder why there are only two verses in the entire New Testament that speak directly to parenting? Perhaps it is because the answers to our parenting challenges are found primarily in the gospel, and how we apply the gospel to our parenting. Please pray for these conversations that I will have with parents over the next few months.
