AEA Family & Children Commission is advocating for a return to the mandate of family discipleship. We are advocating that the church must eqiup families to make disciples in the home.

The home is God’s most powerful place for shaping faith as you go about your daily life.
Be part of the family discipleship movement that helps churches and families grow together—across generations.
WHAT IS D6?...
This D6 Family is a movement based on the principles of Deuteronomy 6 and aims to unite, envision and equip church and home for transformation.
WHY D6 ASIA?...
The Church and many Christian families across Asia are struggling to pass on the legacy of faith. The Asia Evangelical Alliance (AEA) has a burden for this and is calling all churches and families to take up the challenge to work together and engage in generational discipleship.
D6 is about:
- Discipleship
- All Generations
- Connecting both Church & Home

Your family legacy matters. Likewise, every parent and grandparent wants to instill value in the next generation. Your church can help. Discover how D6 (Deuteronomy 6) Family Ministry principles and practices can make a difference. We will identify the common problems most churches are trying to solve, then lay a biblical foundation to map the way. And for the last half, we will share easy ways to intentionally make a difference at church and in the home.

Dr. RON HUNTER JR.
Deuteronomy 6 (D6) reveals God’s heartbeat for generational discipleship. What starts at church must carry over into the homes each day of the week. Explore how the people of Israel finally broke the bonds within their culture and how Asian churches can do the same. Discipleship includes reaching and teaching through an intentional partnership between the Church and Home.

CASSIE CARSTENS
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.
South African Christian leader, Cassie Carstens, has been in full time ministry for the past 34 years. He has served as a church pastor and as a leader of national and international Christian sports related evangelical movements. He founded and directed a Sports Leadership School. In 2011, Cassie started the World Need A Father movement with the primary goal of restoring fathers to their God-given role as servant-leaders of their families.

WHAT THEY SAY...
Come be impacted - D6 Family Conferences from around Asia
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.
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.
Good and well-organized conference and introduce topic and workshop that is applicable and practicable for current church context. Well done to the team.
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.
