messages, Dr. Rob Rienow will encourage and inspire you to reconnect with your adult child, and give
you practical ways to encourage faith in their hearts. The best way to bring NEVER TOO LATE to your
church is through the four session DVD series. The series is designed for small groups or adult classes.
Apples of Gold
started by Betty Huizenga
www.applesofgold.org
Apples of Gold Ministries is a unique intergenerational women's mentoring program. It is used
effectively in churches, neighborhoods, pregnancy resource centers and universities. Mentors are
mature believers who reach out to younger women with love, compassion and wisdom from God's
Word. They also share their life experiences, and give instruction in such vital skills as cooking and meal
planning. This relationship builds a strong bond of love and appreciation between generations. Younger
women, whether single or married, are welcomed and cared for, appreciated and pampered. They are
motivated to be better wives and mothers—whether now or in the future. As such, Apples of Gold plays
a vital role in strengthening the family, encouraging women in their daily walk with Christ, and training
them in the practical aspects of homemaking and hospitality.
