It's an exciting time for us as a ministry as we launch our first in person Abba's Heart group next month. From our earliest days we had a vision of multiplication, and this is a huge step forward in enabling us to reach more people around the world.
Abba's Heart groups are places where Christian parents and grandparents can gather together and share their experiences. This helps families to process their emotions, to recognise that they are not on their own, and to find wisdom and advice for some of their most pressing questions. But one of the most beneficial parts of being a member of an Abba's Heart group is the commitment to praying for each other's children.
Our experience, through our three online groups, is that we're seeing breakthrough in the lives of many of the families represented. Sometimes the breakthrough is an Eureka moment when a parent recognises something they've done or said may not have been helpful. And sometimes breakthrough is improved communication, a text that says, love you mum, or even a willingness to meet up after months of no communication.
And occasionally, breakthrough is the child who says, today I heard from God, the child who says, I want to re-dedicate my life to Jesus. While these breakthroughs are still rare, they are happening, and we praise God for every step forward, no matter how small.
Our first in person group will be launched in Indiana, USA, in August 2024. With talks underway we expect to launch our first UK in person group in September 2024.
If you are a Christian parent or grandparent concerned for your child who identifies as LGBTQ+ and would like more details about joining a group, please contact us. And if you are interested in starting a group in your own church and have a passion for helping families reconcile and for the LGBTQ+ community to find freedom in Christ, we'd love to hear from you.
