STRENGTHEN THE FAMILIES OF MINNESOTA BY ADVANCING BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES IN THE PUBLIC ARENA.

MINNESOTA FAMILY INSTITUTE (MFI) ISSUED INFORMATIONAL UPDATES AND COMMENTARIES SENT OUT TO THOUSANDS OF HOMES AND BUSINESSES VIA EMAIL AND DIRECT MAIL. THESE COMMUNICATIONS FEATURE INSIDE INFORMATION ON LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY DURING THE SESSIONS, CULTURAL ANALYSIS AND INSIGHTFUL PRO-FAMILY PERSPECTIVE ON NEWS AND ISSUES IMPACTING THE FAMILY IN THE PUBLIC ARENA FROM A CHRISTIAN, BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW PERSPECTIVE. MFI PARTNERED WITH HUNDREDS OF CHURCHES AROUND THE STATE TO EQUIP PEOPLE WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF BIBLICAL CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP ON ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE FAMILY IN THE PUBLIC ARENA, IN ORDER TO ENGAGE AS A WINSOME, "SALT AND LIGHT" INFLUENCE IN ELECTIONS AND POLICY. MFI FURTHER EQUIPPED PASTORS WITH HISTORICAL AND BIBLICAL INFORMATION ON THEIR KEY ROLE AS MORAL AND SPIRITUAL LEADERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. MFI COMPLETED THE FIFTH SEASON OF ITS MN STUDENT STATESMANSHIP INSTITUTE, A ONE-WEEK HIGH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP CAMP FEATURING SPIRITUAL CHALLENGE, BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW TRAINING AND PRACTICAL HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE. STUDENTS ROLE-PLAY AS STATE REPRESENTATIVES, SENATORS, AND JOURNALISTS BY ENGAGING WITH EACH OTHER IN A HANDS-ON, FUN-FILLED, EXCITING SIMULATION! STUDENTS LEARN CRITICAL THINKING AND TEAMWORK SKILLS, BUILD CONFIDENCE TO LEAD WITH BOLDNESS, AND ARE CHALLENGED TO GROW IN BIBLICAL CHARACTER AND IN THEIR PURSUIT OF CHRIST. MFI PRODUCED ITS PARENT RESOURCE GUIDE TO EDUCATE AND EQUIP PARENTS SO THEY CAN ENGAGE POSITIVELY AND CONSTRUCTIVELY WITH THEIR CHILD'S SCHOOL OFFICIALS REGARDING THE TRANSGENDER TREND. THE PARENT RESOURCE GUIDE CLARIFIES CONFUSING TERMINOLOGY, DESCRIBES THE HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSGENDER TREND, DEBUNKS POPULAR MYTHS WITH SCIENCE AND LEGAL FACTS, AND OFFERS A WEALTH OF CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS FOR PARENTS WHO WANT TO WORK WITH THEIR SCHOOLS TO FOSTER A GENUINELY INCLUSIVE SCHOOL CLIMATE BASED ON TRUTH AND COMPASSION.MFI DEFENDED BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES OF LIBERTY AND JUSTICE IN THE COURTS THROUGH AN ALLIED NETWORK OF CHRISTIAN ATTORNEYS TRAINED TO COUNTER GROUPS LIKE THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION AND OTHERS TRYING TO SILENCE CHRISTIANS IN THE PUBLIC ARENA OR RESTRICT FREE EXERCISE OF THEIR FAITH IN VIOLATION OF THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS, AND EQUIPPED CHURCHES AND CHRISTIAN CITIZENS TO FULLY EXERCISE THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, MFI HAS PUBLISHED COUNTLESS VOTER GUIDES, A NON-PARTISAN COMPARISON OF CANDIDATES' VOTING RECORDS AND POSITIONS ON ISSUES, TO EDUCATE MINNESOTANS PRIOR TO ELECTIONS AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO APPLY BIBLICAL CRITERIA TO THEIR SELECTION OF POLITICAL LEADERS TO REBUILD A FOUNDATION OF GODLY LEADERSHIP IN THEIR STATE. OUR INFLUENCE HAS GROWN WITH OUR NUMBERS AS MORE AND MORE MINNESOTANS HAVE BECOME AWARE OF MFI AND HAVE LEARNED TO TRUST THE INFORMATION AND INSIGHTFUL ANALYSIS MFI PROVIDES.
