Our New Role at FamilyLife

It is with great joy that we enter into a new phase of ministry here at FamilyLife as the National Prayer Directors for the Weekend to Remember® (WTR). It is the perfect time, the perfect place, to serve a Perfect God. We are excited to see how God will manifest himself according to John 14:13-14

As the National Prayer Directors we will provide an effective and transferable scripture-based prayer effort for the WTR through a volunteer organization in each Weekend to Remember getaway area. We will help the local WTR City Ministry Team and the Regional FamilyLife Staff in selecting prayer leadership and intercessors for each WTR getaway. We will also provide the personnel training, organizational strategies, and resources necessary for each Weekend to Remember getaway area to have effective and specific prayer coverage for the WTR getaway cycle culminating in on-site hour by hour prayer coverage during the WTR sessions.

Please join with us as we worship Christ our creator who thought it for our best to give us a baby boy:

Zebulun Miller (Zeb) - 7 lbs, 20 inches long, born on Aug 25th @ 12:24 AM and healthy to boot!!!"

Not being able to be hands on in raising Zeb, I realized that my greatest influence on Zeb is and will be by praying for him and his mom and dad.

The Art of Marriage

August was an exciting time as we joined the entire FamilyLife staff for our staff conference. Our time of fellowship and training was capped with the premiere of The Art of Marriage. Wow! This video event makes it possible for individuals and churches to bring the biblical principles of marriage to their local community.


 The Art of Marriage is like no other video 'conference' experience you have seen.  This is not a recording of a live event but is designed specifically for the video audience.  Take a look at this clip, The Art of Marriage , then decide how you might use The Art of Marriage to minister to those in your sphere of influence.
