Over the past two years, additional hosted eventresources those which can be utilized in an array ofsettings such as small groups, Sunday School

classes, church retreats, etc. have been created.These include Stepping Up A Call to Courageous

Manhoodand theFamilyLife Blendedresources forremarried couples and stepfamilies.

Taking these resources into the communitieswhere they are needed is now a top mission prior-

ity for FamilyLife and the top priority for Re-

gional Missionaries at FamilyLife. Our efforts will

help churches throughout the region reach out tofamilies with life-giving biblical wisdom for build-ing strong God-centered homes. In a nutshell, well

be the tip of the spear for fulfilling FamilyLifesmission To effectively develop godly marriages

and families who change the world one home at atime.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers as

we work to complete our team and move forward in

this important effort!

Multiplication of impact. That is what our new

role with FamilyLife is all about. As we getnearer to reporting for our ministry assignment,we are excited tell you all about some recentstrategic changes to FamilyLifes structure thatunderline just how important is for us to get go-

ing as soon as possible!

For decades, the Weekend To RememberMar-riage Getaway has been the centerpiece ofFamilyLifes outreach. While it remains a coreactivity of the ministry, it had become clear that

the ministrys impact could be multiplied manytimes over by developing resources for use in

smaller venues, with a more flexible schedule.

In 2011, FamilyLifes Art Of Marriagevideo

event kit was launched, with an immediate strong

response. To date, over 300,000 people haveattended Art Of Marriage events, with an impact

on marriages every bit as powerful as that of theWeekend to Remember, based on participant

feedback. Click on this link for a video trailerfrom the Art of Marriage: http://
