In the Old Testament we learn of King Josiah, crowned King of Judah at the
tender age of eight, after the assassination of his evil father, Amnon. After
years of rule by godless kings, Josiah ushered in a spiritual awakening during
his 31-year reign. Worship of the true God had been abandoned. God's people
had turned from the living God to idolatry, exchanging truth for worldly
philosophies. The Law and commandments that God had given His servant
Moses had been cast aside - buried in the ruined temple. Sadly, Israel was
fulfilling the words of the prophet Amos.

Families are in crisis, the Word of Truth has the answers!

At Family Discipleship Ministries we have seen, after counseling parents, teens, and struggling married couples for over 15 years, that there is a direct connection to the condition of failing Christian families and a lack of understanding of biblical principles and God's purpose for the family. See "Alarming Statistics" on the home page.

A commission is a charge, or command granting the power and authority to perform various acts or duties. Before Christ ascended to the right hand of the Father, He gave the church His ministry priority, the Great Commission. The greatest gift we can give to our brothers and sisters in the body of Christ is the knowledge and understanding of how to have a healthy, viable, intimate relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Is this the ministry priority in your church? This 23-page pamphlet outlines Christ's instructions and how believers today can invest themselves and their time to fulfill His command

What Parents are Saying About FDM

“We were very blessed by what you shared and taught. I was a little apprehensive going into it but felt those apprehensions disappear. This seminar seems both realistic and practical. It’s also been very convicting since it’s biblically based.”

-Chuck & Amber Rhein
St. Joseph, MO

"I think this seminar is very valuable and much needed for Russian Christian families and non-Christians as well...it gives a biblical view on parent/child relationships and practical ways of applying...makes one think and examine his relationship with his child and want to improve it...on the whole Russian Christian families are either very young or have been together during the Soviet era or the fall of it and...lack strong...biblical foundation in the area of family relationships."

-Pastor Vlad and Svesta Oplev

Hi Craig ~

I don’t know if you remember me, but you helped with our son about ten years ago. I still remember how God used you during an important crossroad in my son’s life. It is a blessing to receive your newsletters and see how God has continued to grow your ministry and increase the variety of books and tools available to teach God’s principles about family to people around the world. I ask that God will continue to give me a heart to pray for you and your ministry and that God will continue to provide for the needs of Family Discipleship Ministries.

Your Brother in Christ,
Henry ~ Bonita, CA ~ March 2008

“It has made us examine our lives and realize that we need to spend time with God daily to build a strong foundation. People often say that children don’t come with instructions. But they do! Those instructions are the principles that God has laid out for us in the Bible.”

-Kevin and Ginger Presley
Des Moines, IA

I can and do whole heartedly reccomend FDM's Marriage and Parenting Classes. I have seen before my very eyes families and marriages transformed by the grace and love of God in our Church, and that transformation remains to this day in the lives of those who have gone through these classes. My wife Jackie and I encourage you pastors and wives to catch this vision for the precious sheep He has entrusted to you and use these two Biblical tools to help build strong marriages and families in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mike Madigan Pastor Calvary Chapel Julian

“…it was a discovery to find out that my children are the tools God uses to change me…my children are indeed a gift from the Lord and I should be a pastor of them as well as a teacher…they are my sheep who may stray away if I neglect them…I have to keep from having double standards when I am one way with them in public and another way in private. “

-Igor and Jenica Yentaltsev

Craig

It was such a wonderful class and, I speak for my family as well as the pastor’s, perfect timing. As our kids (the “PK’s” of the bunch) are knee deep in the teenage season, and going to the deep end, we have been blessed by Craig’s teaching. It’s a wonderful thing to not be groping around in the dark, but to have a firm, solid grasp on the raising and training of your own children. And it’s we’re so glad to have these resources to pass along to the rest of the body. Thank you for being obedient to the Lord even when it may be challenging, monotonous and tiring.

In His Grip,
Amy

“I’m very thankful for this seminar. It has allowed me to look at myself with open eyes. I’ve always taken their rebelliousness as an attack on myself…I always seem to get angry because I felt they should know the difference between right and wrong or good and bad. I never really looked at my role as the teacher or minister!”

-Dean Crumrine
Lake Elsinore, CA

“This applies to all relationships that I have…I recommend this seminar to anybody who is in ministry or desires to be in ministry, whether they will be working with children or not. This makes us look at ourselves and our hearts and that’s what determines how we deal with relationships in our lives.”

-Ralph & Rebecca Chiopo
