We live in a world of competing values and clamoring voices. Our family schedules are filled with what feel like important things and, in an era of history unlike any before, we wonder how best to intentionally disciple our children.
In the chaos of life, we know it is hard to remember that taking time to disciple our children in this moment matters past today. The challenges are real, but in the midst of all these things Jesus is inviting you and your children to join Him into the greatest story ever told.
Parenting with a Global Vision takes you on a 6-week journey of discovering why consistently guiding your children toward God’s heart and purposes for the nations may be the most strategic investment you ever make.
Explore what it means for your family to step into God’s story while engaging in deep and meaningful discussions with other parents along the way.
In theologically astute and practically helpful ways this new resource will give every parent the framework necessary to live out God’s global purposes with their children.

The study has been a huge blessing to me and my family. I loved the biblical strength of the material. Everything was based on the Bible and that encouraged me to be empowered as a parent with a global vision. It was eye-opening for us to feel part of the great history of God blessing the nations: God– Abraham’s family– Puerto family– the nations. I used to think very little could be done by our family, but now I think a lot can be done. It has been very encouraging to think that my children have enormous potential to be used by God, in ways bigger than I can ever imagine. And much more with lives consecrated to God from a very young age.
Since the study, I have been attentive to ways I can teach my children the truths of God and connect those truths to the great story of God and His mission. I want to be consistent and intentional in daily devotions and prayer times for the world, especially for those who have never heard the gospel. We plan to adopt an ethnic group to be praying for as a family.
