Browse this group activities site, paying special attention to the trust- and relationship-building activities. You may want to try some of the games that are given when you click on the designated trust-building activities link. What can you learn about trust by playing these games as a family?

Click on the “Directions” link at the Mapquest Web site. Enter any two addresses or locations to get driving directions from one place to another. You might want to try getting directions from your home to famous landmarks such as the Grand Canyon or the Golden Gate Bridge. How are driving directions similar to God’s plan for our lives? Do you think God has our lives all “mapped out”? Why or why not? How likely are you to trust these driving directions? How likely are you to trust God’s plan for your life?
Take a few moments to consider these questions:
• What have you learned about yourself and trust from the games and activities at the Wilderdom Web site? Is trusting someone with your physical safety difficult for you? Explain your answer. What about emotional and spiritual matters? Is it harder to trust someone with the private and personal challenges of your heart? Why?
• Do you find it difficult to trust God with your life? Why or why not? How do you know that you can really trust God? Talk about this as a family.PRAY God, thank you that we can trust you with every aspect of our lives. You will never betray us. We are safe in your arms. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Leading the church to come alongside of parents to encourage, equip, and empower them to be the primary disciplers at home to reach this and future generations through the ministries of children, youth, and recreation.
This blog is one tool we use to pursue our purpose in Family Ministry for families to live out Deuteronomy 6:4-7. “Attention, Israel! God, our God! God the one and only! Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love him with all that’s in you, love him with all you’ve got! Write these commandments that I’ve given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall into bed at night.”
