Christian Family Study Centre

http://cfsc.com.au/ Andrew and Sue McColl’s great concern is to help Christian families, who are faced with many challenges today. Parents are sometimes unsure of their role and responsibilities, in such things as discipline, education, and the training of children to fulfil their life’s calling. What does the Bible teach? This is where we want to help people, who are struggling with conflicting messages coming from the world, and sometimes the church.







Our goal is firstly, to write material that may assist parents to understand what are their God-ordained responsibilities, and how these should be implemented.







Secondly, we are developing opportunities to access good family material by other Christian writers.







Thirdly, we are willing to provide assistance to families, on a personal basis. This would largely be by email. Sometimes, depending on geography, we may be able to visit people.







The Way We Work



I wish to write material that hopefully, will be helpful for families. To deal with issues that impact on the health and welfare of families, directly or indirectly. To me, this is presenting “the gospel without charge.” (I Cor.9:18)







I hope that people who read my material will give feedback. They may want to ask questions. I’m happy to receive emails, and they don’t have to be complementary! I’m happy to respond to all emails. That way, people get to know what sort of person they are dealing with, and if they want to continue dealing with me. I do want to be able to help people personally; we all have our personal problems, and sometimes we need to have someone else to refer matters to. I have needed to do that, and still do.







With that in mind, I wish to establish a client base: people who



a) have found what I am writing to be useful, and



b) are happy to pay an annual fee, for assistance in relation to their family challenges.







Not everyone has appropriate pastoral care available to them, in their locality, throughout the world. Care for families, means the opportunity for regular, (or irregular) contact by email, or letter, or phone conversation, when the need arises, to deal with some family or personal problems.



The Bible says “you shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing;” that “those who proclaim the gospel [are] to get their living from the gospel,” (I Cor.9:9,14) and that “the one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.” (Gal.6:6)
