Fun Family Time

Posted March 13, 2009 by Amy Colón // 4 comments

In the middle of church planting it’s so very important to make FAMILY a priority. But we all know that sometimes life and moments just get away from us. So, here are some links to encourage you and give you some fantastic family night inspiration. Try it with your kids AND husband. . .remember, it’s not a family night if Daddy isn’t home. . . make him put it on the calendar. You’ll be glad you did!

Great Ideas! We will use some of them soon!

Here's one we just did:

We saved up coupons for fast food for a few weeks--the good ones--like buy one get one free at Carl's Jr, $.99 Huge Burritos, Buy one get one free ice creams, etc.

We laid out the coupons, figured out what everyone wanted, and mapped out our route. We also guessed how much money we would spend. Then we were off! Sometimes I went through the drive through while hubby went inside since you can only use one coupon. We hit 4 places and spent $13.00 and got some really good food and dessert (no drinks, we came home). The one who guessed closest without going over got to choose the night's activity. He picked XBox and going in the spa.

We will do it again--we had so much fun!

Bob Roberts and his Glocalnet team do an incredible job of training leaders who plant churches not only across America, but across the world. Best of all, the kind of churches they plant, plant churches. Theirs is a quality multiplying effort I can highly endorse.

— Robert Lewis
Pastor of Fellowship Church in Little Rock, AR, co-author of The Church of Irresistible Influence

The unique aspect of the NorthWood Church Multiplication Center is its balanced emphasis on planting New Testament churches that plant other churches locally and impact the world globally. This local-global element sets them apart. When you look at the quality of the churches their graduates have planted, and the effectiveness with which they grow, multiply and team for greater impact, it raises NorthWood Church Multiplication Center to the top echelon of church planter training centers in North America. I can unreservedly recommend them to anyone wanting to learn the craft of starting New Testament churches which multiply themselves and impact the world.

— Dan Morgan
Director of the Nehemiah Project for church planting at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
