I’m a youth pastor and all i can say is, THANK YOU! My heart is to help parents as much as teens and now I have a resource to point them towards. We just planned a fall retreat at our local beach where we are going to take the students and go through these dvd’s and questions. God is timely! God Bless you Mark!
Hi there,
Just curious, Pastor Ryan – how did the teens react to the videos? Would you recommend them? I was hoping that our church could put together an event utilizing the videos as well.
We recently attended a couples event featuring the “Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage” DVDs and I thought Gungor was absolutely fantastic. Praise God that someone like Gungor is delivering this message in such a compelling and entertaining format!
