Dear Friend,

We want you to know about a great organization and resource for your ministry, the Association of Marriage and Family Ministries.

AMFM is committed to encouraging, training and equipping the church to build marriage and family ministries that are relevant to the needs of the culture. No longer can we afford to minister based on what the statistics were 25 years ago, we must meet the culture at their greatest point of need, in their relationships, marriages, and families.

We, Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, head up the Parenting Ministry Team for AMFM/Parenting. If you're a pastor or leader in Family or Children's Ministry we would like to invite you to join the AMFM family.

As you can see from the web site there are a lot of benefits to joining AMFM. The greatest benefit however is the connection with other like-minded leaders who are interested in strengthening the family today.

The annual conference is a highlight. Family Ministry leaders from all over the country converge on Scottsdale, Arizona for a great time of learning and fellowship. Friendships and connections are made at the conference that are a great highlight.

Take a look at the Parenting Ministry Team web page. We are often looking for articles and good resources so if you've written something that you think would benefit our audience, please let us know.

Also, if you'd like to be part of the Parenting Ministry Team information loop, please send us an email and we'll keep you informed of events and new information as it becomes available.

We highly recommend AMFM to you. As always, if we can be of assistance in helping you and your church develop your parenting ministry, please let us know.

Blessings,
Dr. Scott Turansky
Joanne Miller, RN, BSN
