"The Downer children are a remarkable witness to consistent, prayerful, godly parenting. At the CBMC Carolina Family Conference, when these bright, articulate kids shared their faith and their perspective of how Phil and Susy influenced them, listening parents were challenged and encouraged to follow the same biblical principles of parenting. My wife and I have 3 daughters and 8 grandchildren, and all have professed their faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. For many years we have both taught the Bible, discipled new believers, mentored growing Christians, and counseled Christian couples, but we came away from this weekend challenged in our own marriage, our role as parents and grandparents and in our ministry. - 5/26/02
