A MISSION TO CHANGE THE
STATISTICS
52% of
first marriages will eventually end in
divorce. 68% of those marriages produced
children. 79% of women, and 89% of men, marry
again within 5 years. Every day in America, 2,400 Blended
Families are formed. 70+% of those
Blended Families will fail within 6
years.
The number of Americans
today are touched by a 'blended family' is as many as the number of
people who voted in the last Presidential election.
Research has shown, and with every seminar we conduct, that
blended families"don't really know where to go for
help". Together we are in a society where 100
million lives are effected daily with the dynamics of
"the blended family".

Our
organization has consulted and nurtured many national
ministries. "The Bonded Family" truly jumps out as serving one
the most glaring needs in America and that touches a mega-population
- clearly a God-sized need. They will offer step-families
the word and the touch that will minister to them. It could
quickly become one of the fastest growing ministries we have worked
with. Doug Bachtel, Bachtel and
Associates President of a national ministry development
organization
"It's very
compelling. More Americans today are impacted by a
blended family, than the number of people who
voted in our 2004 presidential election. If election
day votes depended on you addressing this, you would act
decisively."

Family

'87% of
new blended families respond, about being in their newfound
step family environment, 'we don't know where to turn
for real help'.
THE BONDED FAMILY RESEARCH TEAM
'The Bonded
Family is uniquely qualified to work with families, churches,
schools, hospitals and organizations to help encourage
the family, and shape a newfound generation in our
nation.'
Dr. Ken Canfield.

National Center for Fathering
'We can
either support the positive message of Dan & Rebecca
at The Bonded Family, or we can sit back and watch the family
failure rate stats multiply. I encourage all Kansas
officials to stand up for such outstanding
programs.' The
Honorable Richard Becker Former Kansas Senator and State
Representative
"For
blended families today, this is a 'must attend, do not wait another
month' seminar. Everyday we see broken families, broken
lives, and parents and children losing their spirit. Rebecca
and Dan's message of the hope, love, compassion, power and grace of
God will absolutely make a difference for blended families, and the
church in America." Dr. Daniel Erickson, Founder People Matter
Ministries Former
Executive Director, National Coalition of Men's Ministries Former
Promise Keepers National Director
"In
PastorServe's work with churches around the country we are often
asked how churches might minister and serve the growing population
of single parents and blended families. Clearly any
seminar dedicated to 'bonding' families through the gospel of our
Lord Jesus Christ is a solid first step. Dan and Rebecca
will offer a message of encouragement, hope, faith and ideas."
Rev. Jimmy Dodd
Executive Director, PastorSERVE
'My
husband and I were very discouraged. Our lives were
stressed and spiraling downward. The step-family
challenges were overtaking us. God always sends
hope at just the right time. The Bonded Family
and it's message and helpful ideas, encouraged
our family work to find
renewed togetherness, deeper
understanding, greater respect, and without a doubt, become
more fully dependent on God. That message echoes in
our lives.' Seminar Attendee
