July 2025 Prayer Requests
We are celebrating all that the Lord has done!
The Table Community
The nearly 200 founding members of The Table Community are already making a powerful difference—helping to sustain and strengthen Connected Families during this pivotal season of growth and transition. We are planning a significant effort for this Sept/Oct to invite those who have been guided and changed by Jesus through Connected Families to join us. Our goal is to have 600 Table members by spring 2026.
Please pray for creativity in our planning and generosity in the hearts of parents who know they are blessed to be a blessing.
Ongoing Connected Families Parent Coach Certification Training
There are currently 20 people in our Parent Coach Certification training, and another 25+ who are gearing up to begin training in October. They represent 6 countries and 18 U.S. states!
Please pray for the students who are growing and learning together. Also, pray for the trainers, Corrie, Alan, Marni, and Megan, as they provide a unique learning experience for each of the students.
Connected Families Research Plan
There have been numerous stories over the years about how Connected Families has positively impacted various families and communities. We have often sought to understand our impact through data-driven research, recognizing that a strong evidence base will unlock currently untapped funding opportunities. Praise God that we now have a capable staff person to put together a professional research project. Dr. Cindy Wilson, a CF staff member and professional researcher at Florida State University, has developed and is now implementing a plan to provide evidence-based research to the CF Framework. We’re praying that a strong start will provide a solid basis for future funding.
Please pray for this research project. Pray for Cindy and her team as they pull together the questions and format. Pray for many willing participants from the CF community.
Operational Support
Over the past few months, Connected Families has been partnering with an organization that specializes in supporting churches and Christian nonprofits in the operational aspects of ministry. Their deep expertise and experience are already making a meaningful impact—helping us streamline processes, save time, and steward resources more effectively. As we navigate this transition, there are many changes to embrace, new systems to learn, and relationships to build.
Please pray for God’s blessing over this partnership and that it will further empower the mission of Connected Families.
Fundraising
In the near future, there will be a significant focus on fundraising to establish a strong foundation for new leadership in the years to come. It has been a joy for Jim and Lynne to gather data and stories of how God has grown Connected Families’ reach and impact in amazing ways, and to meet with people excited about the future of CF. Pray that God guides the team’s planning, orchestrates the right connections, and stirs the joyful generosity that will position CF to advance the gospel even more powerfully around the world through parenting.

Recurring giving allows us greater generosity and stability. Your support will provide low or no-cost biblically grounded, research-informed resources to stressed and overwhelmed families.
