To assist parenting in attaining and networking with services and resources.
We encourage parents and grandparents to live I Peter 2:9 as Peculiar Parents who accept God's calling to raise children empowered to realize their full potential.
We see ourselves resurrecting family values needed to become victorious in the spiritual warfare that is attacking the souls of children
Through a personal relationship with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, prayer and materials received from the Parent Resource Room, we see parents and grandparents experiencing improved relationships with the children they are raising.
We see families being blessed with the fruit of the Spirit, bearing growth in their relationships with God, improved grades and behaviors of the children and parents sharing their testimonies that Victories are ignited by Prayer (V.I.P. Treatment)
