Join the Prayer Team!
Because we believe in the power of prayer, we’re inviting you to pray for Connected Families and to share your prayer requests with us. Each month we send an email to the Prayer Team, and then as needs arise during the month. Enter your name and email address to join*.
January 2025 Prayer Requests
Jim and Lynne in Asia
Connected Families co-founders Jim and Lynne Jackson will be in the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Shanghai over the next few weeks. Interest in grace-based parenting resources is high in these places. Jim and Lynne will present workshops in partnership with churches, a missionary agency, and loosely organized groups of parent coaches who want to introduce Connected Families in their spheres of influence. They will also spend time with each group, praying, encouraging, and exploring possibilities for future ministry partnerships.
Please pray that parents and those who serve them would be deeply encouraged and practically equipped and for God’s wisdom and timing regarding the next steps in each of these places.
Year-end Fundraising
We’re so grateful for every single donor who has invested in the ongoing work at Connected Families! Please pray that additional funding of around $180,000 will become available to close our 2025 budget gap (the fiscal year ends on March 31) and begin the 2026 fiscal year on April 1st.
Content Strategy for 2025
We recognize that we will need to change the way we offer content in 2025 to continue meeting parents’ growing demands, changing learning styles, and creating a sustainable revenue model. Please pray for the Content Marketing Team (led by Stacy Bellward) as they navigate these changes.
Certified Parent Coaching Program Growth Plan
The Certified Parent Coaching Program continues to expand! Please pray for the team as they make decisions on how to continue to resource our existing Certified Parent Coaches and help them thrive in their circles of influence. Pray for people inquiring about our next cohort training, which begins in April, that we will discern who should be included and for all of the details to come together smoothly.
