Focus on the Family Australia
The concept behind a ministry partnership is a belief that the partnering organisation offers skills, resources and benefits beyond that which the conference on its own can provide.
We believe that Focus on the Family Australia offers exceptional resources to enhance the wellbeing and health of marriages and families across our nation, and to this end, are well placed to distribute those resources in times where these institutions are under threat.
By virtue of our partnership, local churches will receive a discount of 15% off resources if they sign up for the Church Family Representation Program. Please log onto the FOFA website for further information:
http://www.families.org.au
As we seek to develop healthy missional churches, healthy families and marriages are essential.

Focus on the Family Facilitator Training
Focus on the Family is running facilitator training for its "No Apologies" and "How to Drug Proof your Kids" programs, throughout Australia in 2008/2009.
No Apologies is a character- based curriculum that specifically promotes abstinence and helps adolescents identify the harmful effects associated with premarital sexual activity. It brings a fresh message of hope to a generation who are seeing an increasing rate of teen pregnancy, abortion, single parent households and divorce.
How to Drug Proof your Kids is an education, prevention, and intervention program developed by Focus on the Family Australia, motivated by the increasing drug problem among young people and the frustrated attempts by parents to steer their children away from the harmful use of drugs.
If you are interested in being trained to run these courses in your community or church, please download the registration forms at www.families.org.au or contact Emma Marshall from Focus on the Family at 1300 300 361l

Jesus. All About Life is a prime-time media campaign developed by Bible Society NSW. It aims to motivate the "quiet Christian to share their faith". The campaign is being run in September 2009 and it supported by many churches.
The 'Jesus. All about life' campaign hinges on prime-time media encouraging people to consider the words of Jesus and what he had to say about life.
