McAvoy Family Ministries (MFM)

WELCOME - THANKS FOR VISITING!  

We pray you are blessed by these pages, whether you are here to find more information about our ministry, keep up with where we are, or searching for something...we know it is no accident you are here - God has a plan for you! Please contact us if you need support, resources or prayer! mcavoyaz@msn.com

God brought us together as husband and wife and, ultmately, a family for the purpose of glorifying Him.  It hasn't been easy, we've not always been faithful to God, but as we continue to surrender to Him, He has used our ordinary family to do extraordinary things.  And He wants to use you to do the same! Being used to bring people to understand that they have a purpose and greater joy because of Jesus Christ - well, it's amazing.

Nate and Robin's "Bio"

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO...

AND JUST WHAT IS THAT?

First of all, the reason we do it is because God asked us to!  The past 5 years God has had us stepping out in faith further and further all the time.  Traveling with 4, 5, and now 6 kids to churches and events all over the U.S. is quite interesting.  So what do we do to accomplish the ministry God has called us into...read on!

•  Worship Ministry - Having a heart to worship Jesus Christ is really the core of where MFM started. You could call our style "contemporary" if you want. We look at worshp not so much as a matter of style, but as a matter of authenticty. We can lead weekend worship services and workshops to equip church's worship ministries. Details
• School Chapel/Assembly - This has become a major part of our ministry!  Students from all over the country are impacted by seeing kids their own age leading worship and being available to be used by God. Visiting the classes after chapel might be the best part of it all!   Details
• Family Night Program -Aimed at all ages, this approx. one hour event will be sure to connect families in your church to God!  Details
• Purity Speaker/Retreat - Christian young people are falling into sin and away from God in record numbers. In the fast-paced life of America, the temptations to sin can be enormous. Youth workers and parents need real answers for their kids. MFM can help. Details
• Vacation Bible School - Full program with dynamic curriculum we write and lead. Energetic week of VBS that will be not only fun, but meaningful to everyone participating. Weeks fill up fast.  details.

• Endless Possibilites - those are just the "main" events. Contact us to talk about youth events, family night programs, children's events, Sunday school - just about any "event" for families, including holidays. Retreats for leadership, families, men, women, kids, youth, etc. We want to equip YOUR specific congregation and can mold the retreat or event just that way!  Each year we also minister with a Christmas Worship Concert during the month of December. Contact us!

 For MFM to be able to continue to impact churches, families, youth and children...we need support from people like you.  There is NO QUESTION this is God’s mission for us to follow at this time. We’ve also come to realize that giving people the opportunity to support us with not only their prayers and encouraging words, but finances, creates a great partnership.  THIS is how God wants the Church to work—together! We can’t survive on event donations/fees alone...and there are many supplies and costs associated with all the ways we provide resources.  The prayer is simply to impact the most people possible.  If you feel you can help financially with that right now, please click on the donate now button below.  You can use a debit/credit card/Paypal (this link is to Paypal, but you don’t need a Paypal account to use it).  We also accept checks by mail (address below). Most of all—PRAY– for opportunities and hearts to be opened to build disciples for Him!
