The mission of OneFamily is to equip, encourage and sustain you throughout your marriage and parenting journey. For nearly 10 years, we have committed ourselves to serving families, one family at a time, with classes, seminars, events, one-on-one coaching/mentoring, and online with our daily quotes and Tuesday Letters of encouragement. This means you have ongoing access to OneFamily long after you’ve first participated in one of our programs.
This year, we worked directly with 2,400 families. Some of those parents took a Parenting Toddlers class for the first time, while others have taken many classes and seminars from us along their parenting journey and continue to draw sustained encouragement from our daily quotes and Tuesday Letters. One such family is the Bolthouses. They have participated in OneFamily programming from the beginning and continue to use our resources with their teenage boys.
Our family just finished cross country season. As parents of runners, we have learned new ways of encouraging our athletes. Instead of taking in every moment of competition from the bleachers, we run around the course to intersect our runner and shout a few words of encouragement.
Parenting three teenage boys looks much like cheering a cross-country race. The hours of daily togetherness we had as a family when our boys were young have dwindled to time together around the dinner table, squeezed in between practices and homework. Dinnertime has become a precious commodity for sharing about our day and imparting some valuable parenting lessons.
One Family has evolved with our parenting needs and continues to meet us in our current season. Their parenting classes and seminars gave us tools and encouragement when our sons were younger. Now the Tuesday Letters and One Family Daily Encouragement pops into our inbox and provides food for thought and fuel for discussion that we can incorporate into our dinner conversations.
We are grateful that One Family lives out Hebrews 10:24, “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.” Their love and good works remind our family of the importance of living out our purpose—shining God’s light into this dark world through our words and actions.
The Bolthouses serve as a great example of what we aim to achieve with OneFamily. They made OneFamily a part of their marriage and parenting journey and continue to take advantage of all the resources we have available.
A Special Opportunity to Help Families & Make a Difference!
