The Need for Blended Family Ministry

Blended family ministry is a HUGE need for the church today.  We can not miss out on our opportunities to help the Blended families of our communities CONNECT with the church.  Below is a sample of what is being said about Dr. Shane and Doing Whatever it Takes Ministries. 

"Dr. Shane Stutzman obviously has a burning desire for all families in the church to experience a Christ-like love.Dr. Stutzman challenges us to create an atmosphere of love and acceptance in our churches and to meet people where they are. His goal is to end the cycle of divorce through the development of biblically bonded blended families. I, for one, am willing to join him in helping blended families be integrated into our churches."  Jeanine C. Bozeman  Ph. D., LCSW, ACSW, BAS, BCD, LPC  Senior Professor of Social Work New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary

"Shane is a contract conference leader with the Discipleship and Family Department, Florida Baptist Convention. From the experience of ministering to step families in his own church and community, he has developed insight and discovered resources to assist every church in reaching this mission field."    Gary Nichols, Associate Director, Discipleship and Family Department Florida Baptist Convention

"Pastor Shane Stutzman emulates the compassion of Christ for hurting people and families. Through much study and research, he is keenly aware of the many difficulties that blended families (stepfamilies) face on a daily basis, and he desires to see these families overcome the trials and grow into what God designed the family to be. The blended family is quickly becoming the "norm," and each one faces an excessive probability of divorce. Pastor Shane is focused on breaking the cycle-of-divorce - one family at a time - and seeing these families live the abundant life Jesus came to give us all!"   Paige Becnel Blending a Family Ministry Healing Place Church, Baton Rouge, LA

“I have known Dr. Stutzman for over 10 years and I know his Passion for seeing people come to know Christ. He has been given a unique insight into one of the forgotten mission fields of our present day ministries, and that is the single parent home. We have seen the trend of blended families becoming the norm in our country and yet we still program and outreach toward the one marriage for a life time family as we saw during the 1950’s. When are we going to change or wake-up? Shane has seen this gap that is constantly growing wider and has decided to charge the topic head on of how to deal and minister to compound families. God bless you, Shane!”   Rev. Todd Carr Associate Pastor of Youth First Baptist Church, Callahan
