Grandparent,

YOU are vital to your grandchild. In your very special role —

You can provide needed support.
You can share your years of wisdom and wealth of experience.
You can teach godly values.
You can pass on family traditions.
You can help your grandchild gain a sense of identity and family heritage.
You can provide a sense of belonging.

A multitude of benefits – for your grandchild and your family – each one needed.

But… the GREATEST role you play, and the one of most benefit to your grandchild, is that of

PRAYER WARRIOR AND PRAYER “TEACHER.”

The magnitude of this particular role was the impetus for development of the 30 – Day Prayer Challenge. A Challenge designed to equip, encourage, and support you.

When does the 30 – Day Challenge take place?

The challenge begins on Saturday, August 13, 2016 and culminates on Sunday, September 11, 2016 – Grandparents’ Day.
