We moved to Albany from Syracuse, NY to join the

Campus Staff of Cru in 2007. In 2013, we made a

transition to join the field staff of FamilyLife in the

Capital Region of New York and surrounding area.

We work to bring hope and encouragement to mar-

riages and families in this region.

A loving, romance-filled marriage ... a healthy,

happy family ... most people would say they want

these things more than anything else! Yet, in today’s

culture, they seem to be the hardest to find, and

certainly, to keep.

People are desperately seeking answers to ques-

tions like: How can I make my marriage last? How

can I communicate with my spouse? How can we

raise godly children in an ungodly world?

FamilyLife is committed to helping you learn

biblical principles that will provide answers to these

questions and help you build the type of family that

you long for. In everything we do at FamilyLife—our

getaways and events, national radio broadcasts,

home Bible studies, website, books and other

materials—we offer practical, biblical principles for

improving your relationship with God, with your

spouse and with your children.

Would you prayerfully consider partnering with

Joe and Jen Cassel as they faithfully minister

through FamilyLife? We are continuing to develop

new and creative ways to help strengthen mar-

riages and families like yours, building a legacy of

Christ-centered love for generations to come, and

fulfilling our Savior’s Great Commission.

from the desk of Dennis Rainey Joe and Jen Cassel

In the face of these intense cultural pressures, there

is good news. As more and more people experience

failure and despair in their relationships, their hearts

are turning to the God who can give them hope.

FamilyLife is dedicated to helping husbands and

wives see God’s plan for marriage and the family.

The difficult issues facing families today creates a

need for Christians to be involved.

In response to this need, FamilyLife was established

in 1976 to provide marriages with help and hope

through Christ.

Help and Hope Competition

We exist so that God can work in and through us to

help people understand, experience and proclaim

God’s truth for marriage and family.

God’s plan for your family is expressed by FamilyLife through four core biblical messages.

Your Personal Walk with God:challenging you to daily experience God’s

presence and power.

Your Marriage Covenant:encouraging you to keep your lifelong

commitment to your spouse and experience the

marriage relationship God intended.

Your Role in the Family:helping you embrace your unique responsibilities

and live according to biblical principles.

Your Spiritual Legacy:equipping you to leave a legacy of godliness to

the next generation.

Core Message

These are serious times. There is tremendous

competition for the hearts and minds of families.

The most important battle being fought today in

America is for the souls of its men, women and

children. Societies are destroyed one family at a

time and rebuilt the same way.

“The strength of a nation lies in the homes of its people.” -Attributed to Abraham Lincoln

Just look at the statistics: More than 50 percent of

marriages end in divorce. Well over half of teenage

pregnancies come from broken homes. Violent teen

behavior threatens

schools. Today’s

media greatly

influences the

average family.

At FamilyLife®

our purpose is to

glorify God, make

Christ known and be used by Him to give families

help for today and hope for tomorrow. We firmly

believe that bringing God’s timeless principles into

marriage and family relationships is essential to

winning the battle for the family and for our nation.Dennis RaineyPresidentFamilyLife

Our Invitation

We invite others to partner with us to reach people for

Christ.

FamilyLife/Cru has no central funds for paying salaries

and ministry expenses.

Like many other mission organizations, FamilyLife/Cru

depends upon the consistent financial support of con-

cerned individuals and churches. These contributions

are used to fund the ministries of our staff members.

We need a team of partners who will give $100

monthly or some other amount to support our ministry.

With our finances in place, we can turn our full

attention to reaching people for Christ.

We serve with the Homebuilder’s Field Movement in the

Capital Region of New York and surrounding area. We

are thankful to be a part of the work of God in a region

that we care so much about. Growing up in the North-

east, we’ve experienced the reality of hurting families all

around us. We are privileged to be a part of God’s work

in this region, as He restores lives and homes.
