In the Houston and Dallas areas, we are excited to partner with the National Center for Fathering to bring Father-Daughter Summits in April. In the Houston Area – April 9th, at Conroe Church of Christ. In Dallas, April 30th at Friendship West Baptist Church. We have partnered with the NCF in previous years with great results, and they are a wonderful partner. For more details – see www.fathers.com/summit. Full Story »
Led by the gifted Kurt Bruner, formerly of Focus on the Family, Lakepointe Church in Rockwall has spent the last several years developing and rolling out a very successful HomePointe ministry for their families. Their goal is essentially to equip every family to be intentional about their faith at home. So the HomePointe ministry is designed to provide the resources and tools to equip them to do that.
Now, having invested time and money to develop and test the model, LakePointe Church is making the tools and the model available to other churches who want a ready-made family ministry they can subscribe to and provide for their church family.
The tools and resources have already been developed. (In fact, more are always in development.) Now, other churches can license the complete model, with pre-prepared resources and tools, from LakePointe at very reasonable rates.
For more information about the Drive Faith Home model any church can license and utilize, click the link and read more.
In my discussions with Kurt, he tells me LakePointe is not interested in recouping their initial investment, which was extensive. They just want to help churches take advantage of what’s already there and cover their costs of maintaining the ministry.
Is your church possibly a HomePointe church? Here are some model churches.

Linda and David Whitenton awoke with a start. It was 4 a.m. on a Saturday morning. Their phone was ringing and Linda’s mind raced as she fumbled to answer it. “Mrs. Linda,” a small desperate voice said, “I need help Mrs. Linda.” It was Jesse. Full Story »
MCALLEN – In late October, a group of Baptist women walked from house to house in an area of Rio Grande City. As two of the women traveled through the dusty streets praying for the families living there, they stopped at a home, visiting with the family and learning they hadn’t attended church in years.
