Warm Greetings from the Family
Ministries Team here in Baguio City Philippines!
We are excited to know that you are
interested in our 5th Family Ministries School (FMS) to be held in the
Philippines.
We pray that the Lord will guide you into his purposes for you as you
prayerfully consider this school.
Isaiah 58:12
" Your people will rebuild the
ancient ruins, and will raise up the age-old foundations you will be called
Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings."
FACING THE REALITY
The family today is severely under
attack. The institution of the family is the most basic grouping of people that
has the most significant influence on a nation or society. The family is being
broken down with marriages falling apart at an alarming rate.
Parents are abdicating their God-given
roles and responsibilities, abandoning the God who created the family and who
gave His Word to live by. In turn children are growing up without emotional
stability and security.
IS THERE AN ANSWER?
Yes! We in YWAM Family
Ministries believe that God's Word contains the blue print for family life and
the answers for restoration. Families almost always desire to have a strong
healthy family life but without some practical keys they are often in the dark
as to where to start.
FOR THIS REASON WE RECOMMEND A YWAM
FAMILY MINISTRIES SCHOOL (FMS)
The FMS is a second level school,
therefore all applicants must have completed a YWAM Discipleship Training
School.
The primary focus of the FMS is in
training people in building families on Godly principles and in family
restoration. Top
TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE FMS!
The FMS is a five month course
comprising of twelve weeks live-in lecture phase and eight weeks field
assignment with four other optional weeks commencing every September here in the
Philippines.
--------------------
There are five major categories viewed
as the central core of an FMS.
1. World View of Family / Biblical
Foundations
2. The Marriage Relationship
3. Parenting.
4. Family Counseling
5. The Role of the Family in Ministry
----------------------- Top
You will be helped in small groups,
and in the preparation of role-plays and in the presentation of this material
into your own style. Students completing this course can expect to participate
in running parenting and marriage seminars and to be equipped to help families
return to Biblical Standards.
WHAT ABOUT MY CHILDREN?
Children's ministries operate along
with the main lecture program of the FMS because we are dedicated to see God
become a reality in the lives of your children. If your children are of
school age we request that you bring with them their school work which will be
supervised in a classroom type setting here at the YWAM Base.
WHERE WILL THE FMS BE HELD?
It will be held in the YWAM Baguio
Training Center situated right besides the airport in Baguio City. This city is
nestled amidst the mountainous region of the Cordillera. 1500m above sea level
and 250km north of Manila. It is also known as the Summer Capital of the
Philippines.
