Godly Parenting 

22:6 Parenting
Subscription based parenting community by Dr. Josh and Christi Straub that is partnered with LifeWay.  This community will support parents and grandparents of 0-12 year old children.  This is based on the proverb Proverbs 22:6.  The community helps you to create an environment for training your child in the way he/she should go.
Focus on the Family
Bible and Christian Education Resources
  • Adventure Bible Games
(Help your child learn their books of the Bible and other Bible basics through fun games.)
  • Secret Keeper Girl
"Bringing mothers and daughters closer to each other and closer to Jesus"
  • Apologia Homeschool Resources
(Buy individual homeschool subjects written with a Biblical world view.)
  • Jelly Telly
(Jelly Telly is from the creators of Veggie Tales and What's in the Bible, and offerss a nearly infinite number of Christian Videos for children.  You can access all of the content for only $5 a month.)
  • We Choose Virtues 
"We Choose Virtues utilizes 5 effective teaching methods to help you integrate Virtue into the lives of your kids. This is not seat work. It is the face-to-face teaching that children LOVE."
  • Doorposts
"From Doorposts' inception in 1990, our mission has been to supply you with Bible-based, parent-designed, family-tested products to help you apply Scripture in your home."
Pen Pal Opportunities
  • E-pals Around the World - ReadWriteThink
(Find a friend for your child to write to from nearly any country in the world.)
  • Sponsor a child through World Vision
We sponsor 4  children from various countries around the world.  Each child we sponsor was born on the exact same day as each of our children.  Each of our children has a child to pray for and give to on their birthday.  This also gives them a peer in another country to write to and learn from.  This process is life changing for the family receiving aid and our children who are learning about life outside of their own country.​
  • Sponsor a child through Compassion International
We also sponsor 4  children from various countries around the world through compassion.  Each child we sponsor was born on the exact same day as each of our children.  This organization is much more child focused in contrast to World Vision's community focus.  Both programs are doing terrific work to improve quality of life and spread the gospel across the globe.

I quickly discovered that the information found in the brochure and a lot more can be found at the website www.brightfeats.com.
