The Vision
‘Before & After I Do’ – BAID; is an open to all non-denominational Christian ministry specifically mandated to:
- Impart God’s longevity, peace and joy within existing marriages
- Empower and educate singles’ considering marriage
- Minister health and restoration to ‘‘broken’ marriages and those who are separated or divorced.
Our aim is to reach as many relationships as possible with God inspired, practical & ‘down to earth’ seminars, conferences and workshops to help introduce, build and sustain matrimonial joy.
We are fully persuaded that marriage is an institute that does work and can last; – but it is equally an institute that requires great investment and commitment!
God’s desire is for us to enjoy being in relationships that lead to lasting marriages where death is the only thing that causes us to part. We passionately believe therefore, that God is still in the business of building relationships— and this includes yours!
The Portfolio
‘Before and After I do’ has a wide ministry portfolio which includes interactive day seminars and teaching modules as well as residential courses and workshops:
Our core units are:
Marriage enrichment – a six module life transforming journey for any marriage. No stone is left unturned in these transformational sessions
SOS — Newlyweds – there is only so much that can be covered in pre-marital counselling – this course will bless newlyweds determined to make things work
Building strong families – the transition from partners to parents really does brighten and challenge relational dynamics – these modules equip and empower.
Singles — Keeping It Real – this is a ‘no holds barred’ tour for singles. The modules get down to nitty gritty & embrace God’s mind for singles, whilst preparing for relationships.
Second time around – these sessions are specially designed for those who are embarking on relationships again following separation, loss of a partner and divorce. It is restoratively practical and Bible based.
The ministry also runs national and international seminars which can be hosted by local churches.
