Now That We're A Family
Elisha and Katie Voetberg
Culture has reduced the modern family to a joke -- informing parents they are only capable of shuttling their children from expert to expert who experiment with untested agendas. Katie and Elisha lean on their experience growing up in large families of 10 and 11 kids, to encourage parents to take back control, stop listening to popular relationship advice, and embrace their God-given role as their children's primary authority.

When their home church asked what it was like being modern day missionary kids, they discovered that the best way to answer was through filmmaking. This sent them on an incredible journey of documenting their lives and adventures on camera. And yes, their last name really is “Wild.” They now run Wild Brothers Productions. Their vision is geared towards young Christian families and to inspire them in how they play a part in God’s Great Commission. They were so glad to be a part of a missionary family because they have been able to live with a remote tribe, experience their hopelessness in sin, and then watch their lives be transformed through the teaching of the Bible.You can connect and follow The Wild Brothers through the links below:
