WHAT THEY SAY…
Come be impacted – D6 Family Conferences from around Asia
Ps Chakma ~Bangladesh
I was deeply impacted by the clear call to equip parents as the primary spiritual trainers of their children. The local church must go beyond teaching children directly—we need to empower the family to be a training ground for faith.
Ps Sanchez ~Philippines
I was reminded about the need to make sure that everyone in our church understands that our church caters to families, and that every believer is part of a bigger family, we are part of God’s family.
Ps Pua ~Malaysia
Good and well-organized conference and introduce topic and workshop that is applicable and practicable for current church context. Well done to the team.
Ps Kikon ~India
I wished I was informed of this conference from the year I joined in the ministry, never the less I have gained so much insights, am energised and encouraged to carry on the ministry with new vigor.

CASSIE CARSTENS
The World Needs A Father
The most fundamental flaw in society is fatherlessness. It is time to seriously take up the responsibility of fatherhood. It is the time to recognize how a world suffers when Father God is not taken seriously and when His ways are not transferred by His image bearers. In this session at D6 Asia 2022, Cassie expounds on how we can bring heaven home though 7 essential areas.

WHAT THEY SAY…
People who have attended D6Family Conferences from around the world ….
Ps Jerry
I found it to be life-changing and also very informative. We would like to bring it back to church and then apply what we could.
Joseph
The big take away is the restoration of family, of marriage and relationship, not only with God but with our family members.
Dadina
I feel that D6 has really equipped me in the children ministry and also equipped me as a parent to my children
Elsie
I am so privileged to be given the opportunity to attend this D6 Conference. I have learned a lot and had some regrets now that my 2 daughters are now grown-ups. I had so many wishes that we should have done when my children were still in their formative years. Praise the Lord that we can still do intentional parenting as long as they are still living with us. Praise God for the excellent resource person. The workshops were very helpful too.
