    Revival Begins at Home

    The great problem facing God's people is not a government issue or even a cultural issue; our great problem is a problem at home. Our culture will be changed by our churches and our churches will reflect what happens in our homes. A revival in the Christian Homes of our region could change the world for Christ.

    Revival Begins at Home

    The great problem facing God's people is not a government issue or even a cultural issue; our great problem is a problem at home. Our culture will be changed by our churches and our churches will reflect what happens in our homes. A revival in the Christian Homes of our region could change the world for Christ.

    Why Does the Home Matter?

    The home is God's first institution, and yet the structure and purpose of the home are terribly misunder stood. Attempts have been made to build homes on many foundations but the only solid foundation is the word of God. The Christian Home Crusade exists to help homes become what only God can make them. We seek to prepare homes by training teens before their homes begin. We seek to meet couples at the time that their homes are facing unknown challenges. We seek to strengthen singles, and those whose spouse has already gone to heaven by showing how God can use this season of life for his glory.

    We Need: Revival, Motivation, Momentum, Instruction, Challenge, Strengthening

    How Can Local Churches Help?

    Attendance.

    God has given us an opportunity to come together for the cause of the gospel. Much can be accomplished when people with the truth of God also demonstrate the grace of God, together.

    Ministry

    Sometimes we can be the greatest resource for encouragement by simply being present. Plan to be involved!

    Support through recognition and information.
