The Pritchards
David & Kelli Pritchard have been married for 25
years. They run conferences nationwide speaking to couples
about proven parenting and marriage techniques that result in
happy, peaceful families living as God intended us to live.
They are great parenting role models - a rare thing in today's
world.
David, a former college football player, runs
Young Life and coaches football at
Clover Park High School. Kelli has a degree in Social Work and
Secondary Education from Indiana State University and coaches
folks on personal
nutrition and health in addition to her roles in the home and
with
Pritchard
Ministries.
 They
have eight children of their own (see below!) comprising 2
college graduates, 1 in college, 2 in high school, 2 in middle
school, and 1 third grader. Over the years they have been
guardians to another dozen teenagers in need of care.
Their eldest son,
Tavita,
hit the headlines in October 2007 when, as a sophomore, he
quarterbacked Stanford University to a historic road win over
top ranked and 41 point favorites, USC. "He is a
warrior! The composure and
poise that Tavita Pritchard showed when he was thrust into the
national spotlight is the type of character quality that takes
a lifetime of parenting to produce." said Jim Harbaugh,
Stanford University Head Coach and former NFL quarterback.
 From early on during their 24 parenting years,
David & Kelli were often approached by people saying
things like: “Your family is not normal… how do you do it?”
They would share their techniques, and people would come back
saying: “It’s
working! You need to share this with the world.”
David & Kelli's
book Going
Public - published in March - is dedicated
to all families who deeply care about educating their
children, as well as to the teachers and staff who daily serve
those students.
With godly parenting it’s possible
for your children to thrive and become fine,self-governing men and women who make a
positive impact on others. And in the process, it’s possible
for those families of faith who choose to "go public" to
help shape the school system and infuse it with the
winsome fragrance of Jesus Christ.
