What happens to children who check in with their parents every night before going to bed? What happens to parents who are more deeply connected and engaged with their children?
What happens to a family that shares highs and lows, scripture, talk, prayer and blessing most every night of their lives? What are the psychological, sociological, neurological and theological benefits a child receives when they are given such consistent, intentional care before drifting off to sleep each night?

If you would to know more about the program call or email pastor Tim 402-373-4469 [email protected] |
