What do a dentist, a politician, a business
entrepreneur, a teacher, a Chevron-Texaco manager, three doctors, a banker,
two accountants, a television journalist, a computer businessman, and a
missionary all have in common? All of them are Home Builders! Coming from
Tom’s workplace and our neighborhood, these diverse couples bonded together
in our most recent study to help one another grow in marriage. Spanning from
just a few weeks to over 30 years of marriage, each husband and wife offered
a unique contribution. At the conclusion of the study, we challenged each
couple to impact not only their own families but others in their network of
influence with biblical marriage principles.
Leaders of this caliber have an exceptional
opportunity to shape others marriages. Each has a network of people they
touch through their positions, their churches, their tribes, and their
extended families. As they hold to God’s Word above divisive cultural
traditions that isolate husbands and wives, others take notice. Leading a
Home Builders group involves facilitating discussion, modeling a godly
marriage, and desiring to have a multiplying ministry to others. Taking the
first step of faith to invite other couples into your home is usually the
greatest hurdle to overcome. But 9 couples in our previous groups have taken
this step, and God has used them to reach many more couples, in many other
places, than we could reach personally.
Yours for reaching Nigeria one family at a time,
