SUMMARY:Rob Rienow - Week Five
DESCRIPTION:Rob married Amy in 1994 and they have been blessed with 7 children\, and two grandchildren.

God then led he and Amy to launch Visionary Family Ministries\, a ministry designed to inspire parents and grandparents to disciple their children\, to help couples create mission driven-marriages\, and equip churches to build Bible-driven ministries. He partners and consults with numerous churches\, encouraging them to accelerate evangelism and discipleship through families. Rob has served as a pastor and church planter and is the author of numerous books including Visionary Parenting\, Visionary Church\, and Healing Family Relationships.
