Innovative Church-Based Models for Family Strengthening

Presenters: John Dongerdive, Chrina Henson, Nisreen Hawatmeh
The Church has long been a cornerstone of family and community support—but how can it adapt to meet the complex, modern challenges facing vulnerable families today? This session explores innovative, faith-driven programs that empower churches to strengthen families, prevent crises, and reduce the need for foster care placements. Through compelling case studies, practical frameworks, and interactive dialogue, participants will gain tools and strategies to develop and sustain effective, church-based family support initiatives. Whether you're a church leader, ministry team member, or part of a faith-based organization, this workshop will equip you to champion holistic, community-driven solutions that foster prevention, healing, and long-term stability. Featuring voices from across Asia—including presenters from Jordan, the Philippines, and India—this session offers a rich global perspective on how the Church can lead the way in family strengthening efforts around the world.
