Introduction

Parenting The Next Generation

It is my absolute joy to encourage parents in their high calling to raise extraordinary children. I've had the privilege of speaking to many groups in several countries over the past 20 years, but sharing with parents in particular is such a passion for me, because I've spent the last quarter of a century raising five sons and I continue to do so with great joy, as my two youngest still live at home.

I can identify with parents who long to tap into the greatness God has placed in their sons and daughters. Some Moms and Dads sit longingly, week after week in church meetings, hoping for more for their families. They desperately need revelation, inspiration and encouragement. I know the power of encouragement as it's come to me through others when I needed it the most while walking along the demanding and often difficult path of parenting. I wholeheartedly enjoy encouraging every parent who is longing for more.

It's my desire to help parents move forward in their parenting efforts, to inspire them to go beyond 'ordinary' in the way they raise their children. This is the spirit of my sharing and the theme of my teaching to families.

I have included here (see top left column) several different seminar and workshop titles and descriptions. However, if you peruse my book, No Ordinary Child: Unlocking the Leader Within Your Child, you'll see that the sky is the limit on topics I could tackle, and I would be happy to customize a teaching session that fits the needs of a particular gathering of people.

Feel free to query me on anything that is burning in your heart for those in your church or parenting group, as I'm here to serve your needs and the needs of those in your sphere.

These first two titles cover a lot of material and work well for a weekend Seminar. (Friday evening and 9-noon Saturday) or all-day Saturday (9-3 with lunch break)

7 Keys To Unlocking the Leader Within Your Child

can use to have an impact in our world! Be inspired, strengthened and equipped by Denise Mira, mother of 5, international speaker and author of No Ordinary Child: Unlocking the Leader Within Your Child.

Who Am I In This World? Becoming a Woman Who Has an Impact 
Every woman longs for significance. As female followers of Jesus Christ, we want Truth to be our guide, but the noise can be deafening as we endeavor to hear God's voice to find our way in this crazy, mixed-up world. Media messages beckon us to pattern our lives after the apparently successful 'Somebodys' of our world. However, we often find our efforts to be in vain as we take the advice of the 'experts'. Confusion and exhaustion ensue. Join Denise Mira for a time of refreshing, equipping and encouragement for women of all ages, as she shares God's Word as it applies to a godly woman's place in this world.

Each of the following titles is approximately a 1-hour teaching session.
