Ep. 8 with John Abelseth

John Abelseth has been married for 42 years. He and his wife Helen raised their six children near Vancouver, BC, Canada and have  eight grandchildren. In this podcast, John shares how his involvement in the Blessing & Family Ministry as a matching supporter and part of the core BFM team has enriched his life. After raising their own children, John and Helen purchased a mobile home and traveled to communities around the US and Canada educating and supporting families in helping their adult children in finding a partner in marriage. When asked by parents when they should begin educating themselves about how to do this, John recommends, "As soon as a couple is blessed in marriage, they should begin thinking and preparing for raising their future children...they first learn about how to give and receive love in the family. We pass on the important things in life through absorption from the family culture."
