Programs Indepth Breakdown

Individual Support

1. Choose Freedom

This is a life skills course for teenagers consisting of a Video, Leaders Guide and a Students Bible. It is designed for use with young people from different back grounds. The leaders Guide provides a step-by-step guide for facilitators using a wide range of material provided to cover the different age groups within the teenage bracket.  

2. Living As First man standing

The Church has been very slow in acknowledging and addressing issues around domestic violence. This Resource was written with the collaboration of Restored to enable men in the church, including church leaders, to respond to and address domestic abuse within their own churches and wider society. It is intended to raise awareness and to highlight some of the areas that need to be considered in making our churches safe places.  

Couples Support

1. Marriage Course 101

The Marriage Course 101 is an adapted version of the Marriage Course for use within rural African contexts. The course is a series of seven sessions where couples learn practical tools to help them invest time in their marriage, heal ways they have hurt each other, discover how their partner feels and much, much more. The course is based on Christian principles but it is designed for couples with or without a Christian faith.

 The Marriage Course was developed by Nicky and Sila Lee under Alpha. Family Impact adapted the material in partnership with Alpha International.

2. Enjoy Your Marriage

Resources under this program include the Enjoy Your Marriage Book, The Enjoy Your Marriage Facilitators Manual and the Practical handbook for EYM Weekends and Courses.  The EYM Book explores Biblical truths about the marriage relationship and their application. It is relevant for thinking about marriage as well as for married couples. It can also be used by individuals or as background material for EYM courses. The manual will help facilitators preparing to lead sessions at an EYM course. It includes suggested outline with Couples’ time, activities and discussions and is designed to be used together with the Enjoy Your Marriage Book. The handbook has practical directions on how to set u, publicise and run a EYM weekend or non-residential course.

3. Radical Relationships

This is a workbook for courting couples to work through together as they consider marriage. It is designed to help them think through the decision to get married and whether to go on ahead or to defer the decision until such time as they have worked out through some issues or, perhaps, call off the relationship all together.  Couples can go through the material whether they are in one place or they live in different cities.

Families For Life is designed to be relevant to a whole church congregation with people at every age and stage of life.

3. Foundations for family

This is part of the Foundations for Nations initiative and aims to make sure that ‘family’ has a central place in all church life. The material is designed to help churches mainstream family into the life of the church so that the potential of family ministry in evangelism and discipleship is maximized leading to transformation in churches and communities.

The “Stories of Hope” book is shorter and simpler. It is designed or use in groups or individual conversations with people caring for orphans in their family. The stories are taken from the manual.
