Feed that Fire!
The FREE Family Conquest program helps parents “Feed that Fire today… before it’s too late!”
- What Fire? The love of God and of family.
- Too Late? 13 is the average age a child rejects the Faith and his family in his heart! By age 22, that decision shows itself. Today, 85% of Catholic kids leave the Faith!
- Why This Works? WATCHING together Viral YouTube videos and BONDING together through the faith Q&A’s is fun and effective. It also helps parents and kids learn God’s language of parable, so they can discern God speaking in their prayer!
DONATE HERE. Help us help families before it’s too late!
