Atlanta, Georgia — As parents, our minds often wander to our children’s future. These thoughts compel us to reflect deeply on the direction our country is taking and its impact on the moral and spiritual compass of our young ones. The need for a return to Christ-centered values becomes ever clearer and pressing.

The challenges our children face in preparing for adulthood are multifaceted. As parents, we believe our role transcends providing for their physical needs; it’s about imbuing them with values that will guide them through life’s myriad pressures.

Balancing the influence of social media on our children’s values is also a formidable challenge. We try to navigate this landscape with wisdom, ensuring that our children’s faith and values are not overshadowed by the digital world but are instead complemented by it.

Living out Christ’s teachings is a daily journey for us. From simple acts of kindness, to moments of prayerful reflection, we strive to embody the love and grace of Jesus. These practices and experiences are the threads that weave the fabric of our children’s character. We are comforted and motivated by the hope that these lessons will pave the way for a life of fruitfulness and success. Proverbs 22:6 serves as guidance in this endeavor: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” This profound wisdom underscores the importance of laying a strong spiritual foundation.

We have made a commitment to raise our children in a Christ-centered environment. We desire that the impact of such upbringing is profound and enduring, shaping not only the lives of our children but also the moral fabric of our society. Our hope is that our efforts will bear fruit in the lives of our children and the generations to come.
