What They Say About The Pritchard Conferences and Seminars

Dear David and Kelli, 

We want to convey to you our appreciation for your conference last Saturday, “Going Public with your Parenting, raising a family that draws others to Christ.”  While it can be difficult to attract people in our mountain resort setting to an all day seminar on a Saturday we had nearly 100 enthusiastic participants. 

Let me tell you why we're so pleased with your conference:

1.       You.  That’s right, just you two.  You are compelling in your presence, caring, interactive, and unassumingly authoritative.   Not only were you willing to take questions during the sessions, but you were available to engage with individuals between sessions and the next day, after our Sunday morning service! 

2.       The material is practical and profound.  That is, profound in our culture.  You strike a clear note that can give parents assurance and confidence.  The arrangement of the material flows well and is supported by the powerpoint slides.  We all enjoyed and learning was enhanced by the video clips embedded in your presentation.

3.       The participant workbook is well laid out, and invites participation. 

4.       Your material is thoroughly biblically based and grows from your years of experience.  Additionally the current studies you cite lends credence to the biblical principles you teach adding that extra layer of proof for skeptical, modern parents. 

5.       The examples from your family life give extraordinary clarity to the principles you teach.   Those real life illustrations help us understand that you didn’t always do it right as well as providing a ‘window’ into your family life to see how what you teach actually works. 

We were so privileged to have you present your conference in our church.  We’ve heard parents talking about how to integrate different principles you taught.  It was good to have your books on sale in the lobby so parents can follow up with further reading and pondering. 

Please feel free to share this letter with anyone who is considering your parenting conference.  We hope to have you back again in the future. 

Thank you and God bless,
