THE PSALM 12:1 PROJECT EMAIL LIST

 

REGISTRATIONS NOW OPEN FOR THE FATHERHOOD CONFERENCE
2-3 AUG 13, CHRISTCHURCH

Greetings Men!

I am happy to announce that registrations are now open for this year’s conference. It is titled “THE FATHERHOOD CONFERENCE: An urgent call to return to Biblical Fatherhood”. The conference team have felt very much led to give some special time and attention to the topic of Biblical Fatherhood. 

 

The conference is in 2 parts. The first part consists of a Friday Night public meeting, open to all (NO COST, NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED). We are happy to be having BOB MCCOSKRIE from FAMILY FIRST as our guest speaker that night. Bob will give a message titled “THE STATE OF OUR NATION”. That will kick start the event, giving us a sober and realistic view of where things are at, and where they are heading in our nation. 

 

Then – on the Saturday, we have a full and focused day for the men (8:30am-6pm), exhorting men on the issues of Biblical Fatherhood, and an urgent call to return to what the Bible says about our roles as fathers. This will feature myself, and 3-4 other local Bible Teachers. There will be teaching from God’s Word, discussion, Q & A, along with worship and prayer.

 

Men, we are in a crisis in our nation, and without doubt, one of our greatest hopes is found the role of a godly father, dependent upon Christ, devoted to leading His family according to Scripture. 

 

I would love to see you there as we focus on what matters. 

 

Flyers are going out in next few weeks to all churches in ChCh. If you need flyers, let me know: krisbaines777@gmail.com. 

You can get more info and register here – www.fatherhood.org.nz.

SPECIAL REGO OFFER: We have been gifted 25 copies of the DVD “Indescribable” by Louie Giglio. The first 25 registrations will receive a free copy! 

 

Remember, this is not just a conference for fathers, it is a conference on FATHERHOOD – bring your songs, young men you are mentoring, or if you are likely to be a father in the future, come and gain some valuable truth from the Word, before you enter that season,

 

Be strong in Him men,

In Christ,

Kris

21 – 26 October 

Home Education Awareness Week (HEAW) 21 – 26 October 2013

Home Educators all over the country use this as an opportunity to do something special to raise their profile locally and develop a bit of positive public relations. This helps in gaining the movement a bit more credibility, especially when applying for grants or discounts with resource suppliers, or for admission to tertiary institutions or gaining help and advice from schools and perhaps even the use of some of their resources. And of course the benefits would be examined by more people, thereby bringing more people into the home schooling movement and your local support group.

Anthony Courter

Anthony Courter graduated from Bible college in ’87 with a pastoral degree. While pastoring his first church he began to see issues concerning youth ministry and fathers abdicating their God given responsibilities.  This insight caused him to become deliberately focused on discipling fathers, specifically concentrating on and encouraging family economics and family centered ministries.
For years, the Courter home has been the backdrop for teaching men and families about economic issues such as What is Money?, Why have Passive Income, and How to have Family Based Businesses. In 2004 he founded CAMP (Carpenters Aiding Missionary Projects) in an effort to help foster within men and their families a desire for world missions and to aid missions projects around the world.
Anthony and Michelle, his wife of 27 years, are the parents of 12 children ages 24 to 18 months – Daniel, Jessica, Rebekah, Aaron, Josiah, Esther, Joshua, Caleb, Lincoln, Elijah, Anna and Nathan. In addition to running CAMP, hosting monthly skill building workshops, and meeting local and international church needs, they are the owner and manufacturers of Solar Pathfinder.

Pastors Sending Children to Public Schools from Kevin Swanson on Vimeo.

Shepherds or Hirelings?

Would you let your 9-year-old children attend 2 churches (ie. Islamic and Christian) at the same time? Should Christian pastors call parents to get their children out of the humanist schools where the worldview is consistently materialist and, well, humanist? Is sending your children to public school a salient sin of the day? Kevin Swanson points out that Richard Baxter, Augustine, Martin Luther, and others were really down on humanist-based education and “common” schools.
