Since we serve at FamilyLife, many folks who are NOT familiar with the ministry of FamilyLife ask us "what is FamilyLife all about?" The easy answer to that is LIFE-CHANGE! We love to be a part of what the Lord God is doing to change lives - the lives of husbands, wives, mothers, fathers....and families. And we know He does that one life at a time.
The best known "outreach" of FamilyLife, is the Weekend to Remember marriage conference. FamilyLife has been hosting these for more than 3 decades. The following are "real-life comment" from couples that attended a Weekend to Remember conference recently. This is what we mean by "life-change" Praise God that He is one who changes lives...but sometimes chooses to use "us" to help accomplish this great work in the lives or real people!!
Couple that attended the Tucson Weekend to Remember in mid-June 2009:
“The highlight was (the speaker) telling me I would stand before my maker and He would ask me if I could give him his heavenly daughter back in better, more complete, whole heavenly form! I never realized my wife was on loan and my choice was to help build her up in God. I’m too overwhelmed to put this into words. If you don’t attend this conference you are denying yourself the best and most important tools you will ever possess to be married and/or a parent. Do not allow yourself to commit that kind of disservice to oneself.” Married 9 years
Couple that attended the New Orleans Weekend to Remember in June 2009:
We talked for the first time, really talked. We've been married for almost 18 years. From my perspective… I was done. My wife heard me… or at least she made me "feel" that she heard me… I was outta here… now I'll stay… I want to stay."
And, finally, a couple that attended the Indianapolis Weekend to Remember, June 2009:
A week and a half ago divorce plans were being worked on. Now there is hope and plans to move forward. I choose to forgive! I choose marriage!
