\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\tI am living in the United States and would like to help families in a specific country. What can I do?<\/span><\/div>

As a volunteer: Take FamilyLife on a mission trip. Many churches in the United States send teams of volunteers to other locations on mission trips. They provide humanitarian assistance, present vacation Bible schools for children, or help build or repair homes, churches, and schools. You could take FamilyLife along with you by carrying a suitcase filled with HomeBuilders Couples Series\u00ae study guides. Ask the pastor in your target country to invite couples to join you for HomeBuilders sessions during the evenings. Train local couples to be facilitators and encourage them to continue meeting as HomeBuilders groups after you leave. Bring more HomeBuilders study guides the next time you go. If you need a language other than English, e-mail global@familylife.com<\/a>.

As a donor: You can give<\/a> to help FamilyLife strengthen marriages in countries around the world. Your financial gifts can help translate and print HomeBuilders Couples Series and other family resources.

Or visit the Join Our Team<\/a> page to learn about staff and volunteer opportunities.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Each FamilyLife ministry operates directly under the authority of the National Campus Crusade for Christ (called Cru in the US) office in that country. We seek their blessing and approval for projects such as translations and events. FamilyLife USA serves as a resource and advisor for ministry development.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

This is decided on a case-by-case basis.\u00a0 We often work through the Campus Crusade for Christ office or the FamilyLife director to translate our resources, but we make exceptions.\u00a0 This involves signed license agreements with a person designated as the point of contact. The resources you are interested in may already be translated, however. For more information, please e-mail global@familylife.com<\/a>.

We encourage flexibility in the method of delivery and cultural adaptation of materials. However, to maintain the integrity of FamilyLife and ensure adherence to the basic biblical principles for families, all uses, translations, and printing must be consistent with the content of The Family Manifesto and the basic FamilyLife Marriage Seminar\/Conference contents.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

We appreciate your desire to serve Christ in your country. FamilyLife does not have the financial capacity to help you in this way. Our funds go directly to our ministries around the world to help them build ministry to families rather than supporting individuals.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
