These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:6-7
The family should be the hub for spiritual development, i.e, parents play the most important role in connecting children with Jesus. So parents need to be encouraged, informed and resourced.
Disciple-making truly begins in the home! Check out the library of family ministry videos. Keep checking for new videos.
