To help preserve and promote the institution of family and the biblical principles on which it is based, and to seek to introduce as many people as possible to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Constituent Response: Family Talk Correspondence Team and Counseling personnel, along with contracted Call Center and Fulfillment House, responded to thousands of calls, letters, and prayer requests from constituents each month throughout the year responding with personal letters, emails, phone calls, and resources to meet the needs of individuals and families who contacted the organization for help.
