Making a Difference
I remember a couple chatting to us about their retirement. They wanted to find an activity they could do together but they said they were so different that it was highly unlikely that they would be able to find something that both of them could do or would want to do together.
"How about mentoring couples?", we tentatively suggested. "You have been through 43 years of marriage together. You know what it is like to face hard times and tackle difficulties. Together you cover a wide range of experiences and preferences and you're experts in having to work with differences, to find a way forward. You'd be great."
They reflected on that for a few moments and it wasn't long before their enthusiasm for the idea burst through. They could suddenly see how they could make a difference, together.

Our churches are full of couples with so much to offer. Our dream is to see them equipped and trained to help and support other couples.
Imagine the chain reaction that would happen as more and more couples became intentional about their marriages and the positive impact they could have on their communities?
Our vision is to see 100,000 Kingdom couples supported, equipped and released. We can't do that alone but as we help, support and train couples our hope is that they in turn will want to help, support and train others.
If you're interested in being part of this vision and training to be a mentor couple, please do get in touch, as we'd love to work on fulfilling this vision together.
