"Each week on Wednesday mornings at 6:30, a half dozen men and their sons gather together to study, in depth, the biblical passage that will he preached the following Sunday at worship. Dads are teaching their sons to not only read the Bible, but how to study God's incomparable Word. They are living out God's command to fathers in Ephesians 6:4.

"Something truly amazing is happening in our church and country. Something that to my knowledge has never occurred on such a large-scale basis. We are living in an unprecedented period of church history. Families are uprooting, selling their homes, leaving jobs, and by faith moving to other parts of the country for the sole reason of being part of a family integrated church. The Spirit of God is sweeping across our land...moving mightily in the hearts of fathers. These families have a desire to worship, minister, serve, and evangelize together. The family-integrated (versus family-segregated) church is providing this opportunity. In the past 8 months two families have moved to our location specifically to be a part of this type of church. I am currently in conversations with 2-3 other families that are praying about moving here for this purpose. I stand in awe at the movement of God, as He moves families across the country for His glory and for the purpose of passing the faith to the next generation.

"Could you please also pray for the following unnamed families that are in our church?

• A single parent mother of an 11 year old boy living on government assistance amid trying to work, pay bills, and home educate her son.
• Another single parent mother of 6 children that is living in the basement of another family's home and also home educating all her children.
• A young man, his wife, and newborn daughter. He was baptized at our church, and they were married in our church. He has worked for me in my maintenance business. Pray for his spiritual growth and discipline to do what is right. When I met him he was in an alcohol drug rehab program.

  "Praying for you...that your life and home will he filled with His righteousness, peace, and joy! Romans 14:17: 'With much gratitude for you as you stand with us...that His glory might shine through His families.'"
