- Speaking at Churches: There are churches in the surrounding cities to the ones we visited and presented workshops this early fall who want us to come to help equip their ministry workers and give help and hope to parents.
- Setting up Special Needs Ministries. There is a church who is just getting started with their special needs ministry and they want us to come help them set up a firm foundation and to help train their volunteers.
- In-Service Training at Schools. There is a school where the principal wants us to participate in an "in service" for teachers where we can share tools and strategies to help students learn better.
- Foster Care and Adoption. Just next week there is a conference where we could set up a booth and get the word out about our ministry to parents who are caring for foster babies and who have adopted or are in the process of adoption.
- The Book. We are eager to get our book filled with strategies completed and published.
- And more...We have tons more ideas but will save those for future newsletters.
Future Conferences
. Looking ahead - there are many conferences next spring and fall where we can apply to set up a booth and extend grace and mercy and truth and encouragement to both parents, teachers, and ministry workers.
Private Coaching for Parents
. We would like to extend coaching encouragement to couples struggling with the special challenges their children have which are putting a strain on their marriage relationship as well as causing strife and making family life chaotic. We would love to walk with them for a while on their journey offering tips, strategies, and especially God's hope.
Did you know that Amy has a YouTube channel? Recently, our church made a video of God's faithfulness in the life of our Amy. To experience this video, go to Amy's YouTube channel. Click Here
God is calling us to journey with churches and parents and schools. We are eager to be part of a mission that will help children grow in the Lord like my new friends displayed as they prayed for the church staff on our prayer walk. We want to extend hope and help so that families can be strengthened, church ministries can be equipped, and God can be glorified.
We are eager to be part of that mission. We thank God that you are too! Thank you for all you have done to encourage us and support us in prayer and financially for this important God work.
How can you further help?
Ask yourself these questions:
- Is God calling you to commit financially to this ministry on a monthly basis?
- Is God calling you to increase your already generous giving?
- Is God calling you to give a special gift to get us through the end of the year and to start the new year with sufficient funds to begin registering for the spring and fall conferences?
- Is God calling you to pray for us?
- Do you know of a church or school or other parent group who may want us to come speak?
Thank you for your prayers and support!
Blessings,
Tom, Julie, and Amy Meekins
