Greetings!


Tim didn't know much about Align at first.


When his girlfriend became pregnant, he knew she was coming to us for help. But it wasn't until she started sharing what she was learning in her prenatal classes that he became curious. So he came with her.


Together, they completed our prenatal course. Not long after, they welcomed their baby.


Nearly a year later, Tim reached out again. This time, it was personal.


He shared that he had been struggling with anger and depression. After talking with his girlfriend, he decided to take a step forward and reconnect with us.


"I want to be a better boyfriend and father," he said. "I hope I can learn those things by taking your fatherhood classes."


Since then, Tim has shown up faithfully each week. And every time he meets with his advocate, he asks for prayer — that he would become the father his child needs.


It's a privilege to walk with men like Tim as they grow, not just in skills, but in purpose, responsibility, and faith. We're trusting that both Tim and his girlfriend will continue to encounter the love of Christ in a real and lasting way.


As it says in Philippians 1:6: "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."


We see that good work beginning, and continuing, in Tim's life.

And we're grateful to be part of the journey.


Because of faithful friends like you, men like Tim have a place to turn when they're ready to take that next step. If you'd like to come alongside more young parents, championing life and the gospel with us, you can give here.


In the powerful, life-saving name of Jesus,


Lisa Hosler

President

Genealogy for Tomorrow: How Looking Back Helps Us to Look Forward

Mennonite Life Visitors Center Associate and former pastor Verle Brubaker will lead a family systems and genealogy workshop Tuesday, March 24, 6:00–8:00 p.m., in the Mennonite Life Community Room. This workshop will provide researchers and others interested in genealogy with a valuable approach to meaningful genealogical research by exploring the questions: What is the motivation of genealogists? Why look to the past? What generational patterns repeat in my own story? Verle will introduce the eight concepts of Bowen family systems, a theory analyzing family connections and their emotional significance. Participants will then create their own family diagram. This workshop costs $20 per participant. Pre-registration is required and capacity is limited. Find more information and register at mennonitelife.org/events.
