THE CHURCH IS A POOL OF FAMILY RESOURCES

If you're a single parent who fought hard for custody, you may now be faced with supervising and disciplining your children largely on your own, while remarriage perhaps, brings an explosion of stressful newness, and you will feel overwhelmed at times trying to deal with everything; nonetheless family resources are about making affirmative plans that set aside differences with your ex and focusing on the needs of your child. Communicating is one of the main resources we have, as everyone in the family is kept up to date with events that impact the family.

Divorced parents face extra challenges, and extra challenges require extra tools. At Campus Crusade, Familylife is the Marriage and Family Ministry, offering family resources in the form of seminars which can be very helpful in showing you how to jump into your situation with a willingness to give your situation your full attention and to focus consciously on the difficult tasks presented.

Family resources are all about providing families with fundamental tools and support to gain life skills, build self-confidence and improve our quality of life, and for this reason, the church plays a huge role in providing groups and activities geared towards specific age groups where anyone can meet, have fun, and receive Christian support. The church is an instrument in providing family resources, because, while many parents long to be the ones teaching their children about Christian values, they feel inadequate to do this, and with busy work schedules and social events soaking up our time, it leaves very little time to teach our kids about the bible.

Families are who you turn to in times of trouble; we need to know how to keep our families together - FamilyLife seminars provide you with the tools you need, a plan for fashioning the environment in which your family exists whether you are in a traditional, single or divorced family.
