After much anticipation, we were thrilled to welcome Nicky and Sila Lee to the National Alpha Conference in Dallas, Texas in October 2011.  This was the first time that teams in America received training on how to run the two new Parenting Courses. Around 80 people came to the special Pre- Conference Intensive training day and absorbed as much as possible about these valuable Relationship Central courses.

Many churches that have a history of running The Marriage Course comment that this is a natural progression and they are so pleased to be able to put teams together to begin offering The Parenting Courses.  There are still more leaders who up to this point have not run The Marriage Course, but see the potential to reach not only their church families, but impact their communities by offering both The Marriage Courses and The Parenting Courses.
