Fathering couples are spiritual parents (male and female) who have been called, confirmed, and commissioned by the Holy Spirit of God to “father and mother” i.e. be a progenitor, generating the source for spiritual application and impartation into sons and daughters, those who have first been received as “children of God” and who have become sons of God. Romans 8:14
I. Co. 4:15- For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; ?for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
I Thess. 2:6-8- Nor do we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.
But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.
