PARENTING
:


HOW TO KEEP YOUR CHILDREN’S EMOTIONAL TANKS FULL – based on principles in Dr. Ross Campbell’s bestseller, “How To Really Love Your Child,” we take a look at keeping our children’s emotional tanks full, while parenting both children with special needs and typically developing children.- Ephesians 4:15

WHERE SELDOM IS HEARD A DISCOURAGING WORD  – a fun and interactive workshop for teens and/or special needs sibling groups on the importance of communicating words of encouragement and affirmation – Proverbs 25:11

WELCOME TO HOLLAND  –  A Change of Plans on My Way to Having a Baby - turning the corner on grief associated with having a special needs child, and learning to live in a new state of joy - This presentation will cover the various stages of grief, encompassing Scriptures such as John 9:3, Luke 1:38, and II Corinthians 1.

SEEING CLEARLY IN THE F.O.G. –  Principles Through Life As A Family With Special Needs - This session incorporates three key components that will provide spiritual and emotional encouragement for families who have a loved one (child, adult, or extended family member) with special needs. 
 



SPECIAL NEEDS ADVOCACY:
 
TEACHING THE TEACHER – A Parent’s Top Ten List: What I Want My Special Needs Child’s Teachers to Know (presented each semester as a guest lecture to elementary and special education majors in a 300 level course at University of Southern Indiana). This would be appropriate for el-ed and middle school teacher in-services, as well. Nina's daughter, Tess, typically shares during this workshop, too. 
 
WALK A MILE IN THEIR SHOES – Using a variety of props, humor, and interaction, this workshop is good for parents, siblings, educators, classmates and community members who would like to learn more about welcoming and understanding people with special needs .
 
A+ ADVICE FOR APPROPRIATELY ADVOCATING differing ABILITIES In this interactive workshop, Sunday School teachers, community volunteers and family members will "walk a mile in their shoes" and catch a  glimpse of what a person with special needs experiences.    For faith-based organizations, we will examine a powerful account from the Old Testament that reflects a progression from sympathy to compassion to action. 

The goal of this workshop is that everyone who attends will be confident and intentional in their future interaction with people who have special needs.
 
 
WOMEN’S MINISTRIES:

MOTHERHOOD AT ANY AGE No biological clock is ticking for women who want to be a SPIRITUAL MOTHER, whether you are 10 or 100!~ Titus Two Principle
THE CRISIS BEFORE CHRISTMAS – Especially touching at a Women's Tea or Christmas event, this presentation takes a look at the surprise gifts that come from God's call on each of our lives.   
 
SEASONS OF LIFE – There will be joy and sorrow, anticipation and dread that flow in and out of the seasons of our lives. What we do with them is the secret to a happy life! – II Corinthians 1-5
 
LIFE LEGACY – Using very special visuals, this presentation will inspire each woman to make an impact on others’ lives for eternity – I Corinthians 11:1
 
JESUS’ MEMORY ALBUM – Scripture as Scrapbooking – a look at the life of Christ through the eyes of a memory album enthusiast – Philippians 2:6-11
 
PURPOSE IN EACH PAST – Making sense of childhood trauma and living a purpose-packed life for God’s glory – Romans 8:28, 29

A CALM STORM – An Oxymoron?  Not at all!  Based  on Daily Dose 16 of "Special Strength for Special Parents" by Nina Fuller, this interactive, reflective workshop will reveal the necessary supplies to survive future storms of life. - Matthew 7:24-27
 
FEMALES, FLOWERS & FAITH –  Five Foundational Truths Rooted in God's Word - Good anytime of year, but especially during springtime, this two session workshop is for women of all ages, including teen girls. Very effective as an opening session and then as a closing session of a weekend retreat.   
 
  
PRO-LIFE PRESENTATIONS:
 
TESS-TIMONY of HOPE – Nina’s internationally popular presentation will take you to the heart of the pro-life vs. pro-choice issues of today. You will hear firsthand why Nina did not abort her fourth child even when her own life was compromised while carrying a baby with Down syndrome and heart defects.—(This is Nina's most requested presentation) Deuteronomy 30:19, 20

Nina's nationally popular presentation, "Tess-timony" will take you to the heart of the Pro-life vs. Pro-Choice issues of today. You will hear first hand why this mother of three boys did not abort her fourth child, a girl, after hearing the doctor announce, "the baby you are carrying has Down Syndrome and two heart defects". You will also learn why Nina did not abort her baby even when her own life was gravely threatened during her seventh month of pregnancy. Instead of undergoing a partial birth abortion to save her life as some experts would advocate, her pro-life doctor saved both mother and baby! Tiny 2 lb. 11 oz. Joannah Tess Fuller was born 10 weeks early with many complications, yet, both mother and baby were survivors of the real kind! Today, Tess is a beautiful little girl with long brown hair and sparkling brown eyes. As Nina says, "Tess is a delightful gift all wrapped up in a beautiful Down Syndrome package" .

Nina and Tess are in popular demand at Pro-Life banquets, crisis pregnancy centers, ladies retreats, youth groups and church events around the country. Nina has shared the platform with well known former abortionist Carol Everett, and the presidential and senatorial candidate Ambassador Alan Keyes. She has also shared her message of hope as a guest on several radio talk shows and has been interviewed by many in the media, including Marie Claire magazine. Focus on the Family has published Nina's story, "Our Tess-timony in their booklet, "When Loves Wins". Nina and Tess have been to Washington D.C. to work with J.C. Watts and Citizens Forum, presenting "living proof' to members of Congress about their victorious experience in choosing life instead of death through abortion. Together, the Fullers are touching hearts and changing lives of people across our nation!


 MY DAUGHTER’S BIRTHMOTHER IS MY HERO –  Loved by two mommies—The Fuller family’s fifth addition (through adoption) of their youngest child who also has Down Syndrome. Jeremiah 29:11
 
GOD SAID WHAT? – Dealing with a crisis pregnancy and God’s surprise calling in our lives – Luke 1:26-55
 
UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN – Commitment to God in spite of adverse circumstances—Luke 1:31-38
 
EVERY LIFE COUNTS – Knowing that 90% of babies who are pre-natally diagnosed with Down Syndrome are terminated because they have one extra chromosome, this session will dispel the myths associated with Down syndrome, using the truths of twelve specific Scripture passages to counter the twelve myths typically portrayed by old stereotypes.
