FamilyLife - Give Thanks to God for all He has done!

Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done. Psalm 105:1

We, as the staff of FamilyLife, have so much to be thankful for this past year (fiscal year 2011). The Lord drew over 62,000 people to our Weekend to Remember Getaways. In those Getaways, we know of just over 2,100 people who asked Jesus to be their Lord and Savior. We are also thankful for more than 13,500 folks who recommitted their lives and marriages to Christ as well as hundreds of other couples whose marriages were saved from the brink of divorce by the Lord at these Getaways.

Fiscal year 2011 was also a great year as we launched The Art of Marriage (AOM) on 2-11-11. The launch weekend there were over 600 AOM events with an estimated 30,000 people in attendance—held in 47 states and 5 countries outside the U.S. Since the launch, over 1,400 additional AOM events have been held or scheduled. These 1,400 events have been done in all 50 states and 20 countries around the world with an estimated 90,000 in attendance. 98% of those who attended an AOM said they would be extremely likely or very likely to recommend the AOM to another couple. Thank You, Lord, for giving us this new outreach and for the thousands You are reaching through it—many who would never have attended a Weekend to Remember!!

But there is more: There are over 9.1 million listeners to our four different FamilyLife radio broadcasts each week; the launching of our HomeBuilder Initiative as we ask God to raise up HomeBuilder Area Directors in 100 cities in the U.S; thousands more helped through our e-mentoring initiative online; and many couple, families, and individuals given help and encouragement through our resources and articles found on our website at www.familylife.com.

And last but certainly not least, we are most thankful to the Lord for our Ministry Partner Team. God’s faithful and generous provision through our Team has allowed us to continue to serve here at FamilyLife for another year. We are thank ful to our Team for their faithful prayers, for their generous gifts, and for their steadfast commitment to help us reach our goal as a ministry of “Every Home a Godly Home”!
