After reading Voddie T. Baucham’s book, Family Driven Faith, and Stephen Covey’s book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families, Marc and I decided to come up with a family mission statement for 2009. We took a little “dad and mom” retreat to Austin, and came up with our plan.

I saw a good review for Baucham’s book at fellow blogger Deb Burton’s site. Her passion is to help families realize that their children are their biggest mission field.  I shared my family mission statement with her, and she was gracious enough to post it to her blog (for all the world to see)! Yikes — that accountability thing!  Since she posted it, and advertised it the day before, I’ll let you see the article and our statement at her website:  Here’s the preview article:  The Greatest Mission Trip You’ll Ever Take.

Here’s the link to our  2009 Mission Statement.  How strange to link to someone else’s blog for our family stuff!  But I do want you to see her wonderful blog and all the resources she provides.  Isn’t it wonderful to belong to the family of believers?  Have you considered a coming up with a family mission statement?

So far we’re doing really well — except for the getting kids to eat fruit daily thing!
