“Dear Pastors,
This letter is a heartfelt recommendation for the teaching ministry of Mike and Cheryl Kolesar. They have led two parenting seminars for our ministry and have spoken at three citywide youth ministry events under our leadership. Their messages are timely, well researched, and crucial. Many parents are unaware of the harmful influences affecting their children...(and) the Kolesars can give them much-needed support...in this electronic Sodom and Gomorrah in which we live.
I wholeheartedly recommend their ministry to you and urge you to schedule a parenting seminar for your church.”
““I want to recommend Mike and Cheryl to you and to your church for their “Parenting on Purpose” seminar.
They live what they present, the tools they provide will help any family and you can trust that their content is thoroughly biblical.””
All attendees receive a handout with the complete list of safety guidelines, suggestion for safe games, games that should be avoided and the pros and cons of the various technologies available to families.
We are available to speak on this important and timely topic for your church. If you'd like to see a shortened version of this talk, visit the "Technology in the Family"page.
