FAMILY MENTORING  

While families provide life’s most rewarding experiences, they also result in life’s most challenging circumstances.  As if creating a healthy family isn’t a difficult enough endeavor, today’s Christians are faced with a moral climate that makes the task all the more daunting. How do we build healthy families in a world that seems set up against them?  How do we teach our children to honour God?  How do we discipline our children in a way that demonstrates both love and truth?  How do we manifest God’s amazing grace in the most intimate of places: our own home?   Whether you’re a parent or a grandparent, a mother of adolescents or a grandfather of toddlers, if you have questions such as these, then you are invited to sign-up for Forum Family Mentoring.  This type of mentoring aims to provide biblically sound advice for building strong families.  Not only are parents and grandparents encouraged to sign-up for this mentoring but so are those lay and professional counselors who deal frequently with family-related issues.

Tim Kimmel is the Executive Director of Family Matters, an organization that helps families face the future with confidence by teaching them how to bring the best out of each other today.
