from Founder

"Healthy families lead to healthy, growing churches. In order to minister effectively to a
culture marked by dysfunction, abuse, shame, and addictions, pastors need tools -
apostolic tools. Bob Kurz offers those tools through "The Helping Series." His
material provides Bible-based, practical answers to meet an escalating challenge in
the church. As a husband and father I have benefited from the counsel of Bob Kurz
both personally, and as a pastor. I highly recommend his materials. You, your family
and congregation will benefit from his minsitry."
Rev. James Lumpkin, Word Aflame Fellowship Church - Little Rock, Arkansas

"Bob Kurz has been blessed of God with his insight into marriage and relationships.
We have had him preach and teach numerous times and our church loves to hear
him. Every time he's been with us, he's been a great blessing. I highly recommend
him. Use him for your church, use him for seminars, use him to preach and he'll be
a blessing to you."
Rev. Jeff Arnold, United Pentecostal Church - Gainsville, Florida

"As the scripture records, He gave five ministries for the perfecting of the saints, the
work of the ministry, and the edifying of the body of Christ. Bob Kurz's specialized
training in psychology and counseling certainly qualifies him to fulfill this calling.
With almost twenty years of marriage and family counseling experience, he is now
providing valuable insights and Biblical guidance through "The Helping Series." With
the current onslaught of the enemy on the family, pastors will benefit from this
informative resource."
Rev. Steve Wilson, General Superintendent
Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ

Welcome to Training for Life Ministries. It has been my desire for the last 2 decades
to help families overcome life's problems through biblical training. Thousands of
individuals have attended "Training for Life" family workshops to learn more about
God's plan for their lives. As our society continues to move away from righteous and
moral principles, Christian families must strive diligently to follow the leading of God
through His word. Those who do not know God's plan cannot follow it. Those who do
not follow His plan will not prosper spiritually. If you are experiencing marriage,
parenting or lifestyle problems, perhaps you need to refocus on God's plan for your life.
There are many excellent resources available through "Training for Life Ministries" that
will direct you in the principles of God's word.
