Stronger
Families
WEEKEND CONFERENCE
FOR YOUR
CONGREGATION
There has
never been a better time to invest in the lives of parents and
their families. Hard economic times and the decline of wholesome
values have family-failure statistics at an all-time high. We can
turn the tide and bring our families back to: healthy
husband/wife relationships - un-broken, whole homes - balanced
financial budgets - well behaved, godly children, and a loving
support system for life.

The sessions are conducted by Paul Kendall, KFN founder
and
host of the popular radio program "Family
Matters" and
his wife, Evie. Combining
25 years of ministry and 28 years of marriage and parenting,
they speak from first-hand knowledge of the challenges facing
families every day from; marriage problems – to desperate
financial problems – to raising godly kids.
A common format for this conference is to conduct the three
sessions on a Saturday and make Sunday morning a family service
with Paul preaching a family oriented message.
A good time schedule for the Saturday sessions is the following:
|
| SATURDAY
MORNING | 10 AM - NOON | SESSION
ONE: FAMILY
FINANCIAL PLAN |
THIS SESSION
FOCUSES ON:
the importance of creating an effective budget; eliminating
debt; and biblical stewardship. The Crown Financial budget
method (originally created by Rev. Larry Burkett) is combined
with Paul & Evie's personal testimony of how this program freed them from the bondage of
debt.
THE GOAL
OF THIS SESSION:
for
couples to realize where they are financially; to create a
working budget; understand the world's credit system; to have a
plan to eliminate debt; and to understand Biblical financial
principals including the importance of tithes and offerings. |

KIT |
THIS SESSION
FOCUSES ON:
several fundamental principles that help couples communicate,
make joint decisions, and resolve issues, such as; the root of
anger; how to disagree; the power of words; and the importance
of being Spirit-led. Paul & Evie have counseled couples for
years using these same principles and, to date, every couple
they've counseled is
still married.
THE GOAL
OF THIS SESSION:
for
couples to learn reliable methods of communicating and resolving
conflict; strengthening their relationship and permanently

children and building strong, loving relationships that will
