Tell us about a family member who influenced your faith

Who are your role models when it comes to living the Christian life? Many of us have been blessed with powerful models of discipleship in our own families — for example, the parent who read us Bible stories or the great-grandparents who sailed across the ocean to a faraway mission field.

The December issue of Presbyterians Today will feature reflections by readers on family members who have influenced their faith. Whether you are new to the church, new to the Christian faith or descended from a long line of Presbyterian leaders, we invite you to tell us your story of faithfulness across generations.

Please send your essay — 200 words or less — by August 31 by Email or Presbyterians Today, 100 Witherspoon St., Louisville, KY 40202-1396.
