How Can You Partner With Us?
By providing financial support to us, the Riedy family, you are a crucial part of our team—our ministry partner. Our Ministry partner sends a suggested monthly contribution of $100 a month or some other amount to our individual staff account with Cru, formerly Campus Crusade for Christ, FamilyLife’s parent organization. Cru in turn allows us to withdraw our salary, benefits and ministry expenses from our account. This enables us to minister to families throughout the country and around the world.
FamilyLife® will spend millions reaching families this year. The reality is that the revenues we receive from conferences and events simply do not cover the cost of all of our outreaches and staff.
Our family depends entirely upon the regular financial partnership of individuals like you. Thank you so much for considering becoming part of our team! Will you partner with us?
