"If we reach the family, we reach the world!" Dr. Bill Bright
Hello! We are the Cliftons and are on staff with Cru serving with FamilyLife. Early in our marriage God put a burden on our hearts for families. We were both teachers in Washington State and we had seen the devastation of divorce on the children in our classes. In 1995 we attended our first FamilyLife Weekend to Remember conference and God made His call on our lives clear. We were to join Him and serve Him through the ministry of FamilyLife.
We spent time raising our initial support and then moved to Little Rock, AR to the headquarters of FamilyLife. In 2009, God moved us back to the Pacific Northwest to continue our ministry with FamilyLife and to be closer to the region we generally serve.
We love the passion of Bill Bright to use the family as one way to reach others with the gospel of Christ. "If we reach the family, we reach the world." Here is one example of a family being reached and transformed:
“A year ago, after having been divorced for three years, my ex-husband and I both attended a FamilyLife Conference. The conference changed our lives. As we listened to what the Bible says about marriage, we realized we had done it all wrong! Four months later, we were remarried. We’ve been remarried now for eight months; and this past weekend we went to our second FamilyLife Conference—this time as a married couple. Our remarriage is a dream come true for our six year old son. He can hardly believe that what he wanted most has really happened—his mommy and daddy are together again!”
As staff of Cru we are responsible building a team that will unite with us in prayer and support us financially. We would count it a privilege if you would join with us to make a difference in marriages and families for Christ. Thank you!
