Seminario para Matrimonios
¡Familias Saludables!
En
Octubre disfrutamos un seminario muy especial en nuestra iglesia.
Los ministros Jim y Marlene Campaña presentaron un seminario a
través de su involucramiento en "Marriage Savers" (http://www.marriagesavers.com/),
un ministerio diseñado para fortalecer y aún salvar matrimonios.
Fue todo un día Sábado con muchas parejas participando. El
enfoque era cómo mejorar la comunicación marital, y terminamos
con una renovación de votos con todas las parejas. Vimos un buen
impacto como resultado.
La
gran mayoríade nuestra consejería en la iglesia son parejas con
problemas, y casi todos son parejas jóvenes con niños. Hemos
decidido hacer todo lo posible para mantener al enemigo vencido
en nuestros matrimonios, pues con familias fuertes somos mucho
más efectivos en ministerio y todo aspecto de la vida. Hasta
ahora no hemos perdido ninguna familia por divorcio y queremos
mantener nuestro récord. Con tiempo comenzaremos grupos pequeños
de apoyo para las parejas dónde puedan crecer en su relación.

Hispanic Healthy Marriage
Initiative (HHMI)
What is the Hispanic Healthy
Marriage Initiative
(HHMI)?
The purpose of the Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) Healthy Marriage Initiative is to improve
child well-being by providing those who choose marriage for themselves
with increased access to marriage education. Recognizing the research
that indicates that two-parent, married families represent the ideal
environment for raising children, Congress included marriage, family
formation, and fatherhood as key elements in the PRWORA of 1996 (welfare
reform legislation, TANF).
The HHMI is a focused strategy within the
Healthy Marriage Initiative. The goal of the HHMI is to address the
unique cultural, linguistic, demographic, and socio-economic needs of
children and families in Hispanic communities.
Why is a focused strategy
necessary for the Hispanic Community?
- Largest minority group.
As of July 2003, the Hispanic community was the largest minority in
the United States with 39.9 million Hispanics comprising 13% of the
population. The Census Bureau projected that by 2020 the Hispanic
population will be nearly 20% of the U.S. population.
- Hispanics have the highest
birth rate. In 2000 the birth rate for Hispanics was 96 per
1000, compared with 69 for Blacks and 57 for Whites.
- Highest teen pregnancy rates.
The teen pregnancy rate for Hispanics is 69 more per 1,000 than the
national average.
- Hispanics have had the
greatest rate of increase of out-of-wedlock births since 1995.
43.5% of all Hispanic births were to unmarried Hispanics in 2002.
While the unmarried birth rate among Blacks dropped between 1995 and
2002, it grew by 3 percentage points among Hispanics during the same
time period.
- Youngest median age.
The median age of Hispanics in the U.S. is only 25 compared to 30
for African Americans and 38 for Whites. There are nearly 15,200,000
Hispanics in the United Sates that are 18 years of age or younger.
- Hispanic families are 200%
more likely to live in poverty than White families. In
1999, nearly one quarter of Hispanic families (23%) lived in poverty
and 30% of Hispanic children aged 0-18 lived in poverty.
A targeted strategy to engage the
Hispanic community in effective, culturally appropriate ways will:
- Increase awareness in the Hispanic
community on the importance of the ACF Healthy Marriage Initiative
- Work with the Hispanic Community and
its leadership to design and inform an ongoing Hispanic Healthy
Marriage Initiative strategy
- Establish a base of receptivity and
readiness in the Hispanic community for accessing Healthy Marriage
funds
- Develop a long term strategy to
broaden Hispanic Healthy Marriage discussion, strategy, and action
