Crescentia DeGoede September 14, 2019
On September 13-14, a National Parents Matching Convocation was held for over 100 parents from 12 different States.
“The PMC is an environment where God’s spirit moves. I appreciate all the lectures and especially Crescentia and staff for their sincerity for the blessing.”
“We once again are feeling a renewed hope in the matching process and the future Blessings of our daughters. We are especially moved again by the absolute heart to include all children in the Blessing.”
“I would recommend this program because it creates hope and understanding of a method to complete our responsibilities to God and TP and our children.”
“Testimonies were meaningful. They give perspective, inspiration, resolution and comfort.”
“This was very helpful to understand more about the process and gave me hope. Networking with others was a big positive for me. Having the opportunity to hear from others was inspiring.”
“I would certainly recommend this program because the parent part is as important as the candidates part and we need to take that journey or at least support it as much as the children candidates would want it.”
“This program was very well organized with balanced time slots, testimonies from both parents and children, great practical advice, clear guidance on what to do and how, and makes you feel more confident and calm about the matching process.”
“Getting connected to other parents was so important, and listening to the testimonies really touched my heart.”
“I appreciated that a comfortable atmosphere was created where people felt free to share, ask questions etc. I also appreciated the chance to meet Matching supporters here throughout the program.”
“I would recommend this program because I think it is necessary to fully understand the value of having a matching process, while also hearing the testimonies which layered in to show that there is still a unique or different experience that happens for each family.”
“Overall excellent program that delivered meaty and meaningful information. Presenters were all excellent. Snacks were thoughtful and nice. “
“Great experience! I had the opportunity to hear from other parents and couples who have been through the matching process received great insight into what to do and what not to do as I guide my daughter through the same journey to the marriage Blessing. I’m happy to have participated and will encourage others to take part in future PMCs.”
“The aspect of the convocation that was the most meaningful was the information about the matching process and especially making a matching plan. We would like to do that with our daughter so that we can get on the same page!”
“Informative and helpful. I thought I was being active in helping my son, but I realize now that I need to kick it up a few notches and be more proactive. I also felt less alone. Thank you Crescentia, John, Marjorie and the team. You confirmed my belief that listening to and loving my young adult children is the best thing I can do, and help spread God’s love.”
