TESTIMONY
“Just want to let you know that our parents love the Thriving Family magazine. I put them out as soon as I get them and they are mostly gone by the end of the first service.  We are trying really hard to help parents realize the spiritual influence that they have. I feel good knowing that Thriving Family is FULL of the concepts and ideas that we are trying to help families embrace.”
