<p>It has been said that the average student spends about forty hours in a church building over the course of a year but over three thousand hours with their parents. We are living in a time when more and more parents are abdicating their role in raising their children. Parents are not there simply to provide and care for their children; their primary role is to raise them according to the Word of God.</p><p><em>Parent&rsquo;s Initiative</em> exists to create awareness in parents that will encourage them to take the initiative in becoming the parents they are called to be. We want parents to be aware of some of the key areas that assail their children today. We also want to provide simple tools that will assist them in fulfilling their role as parents. If parents are to make improvements in the home, change must begin within them first.</p>
