ABOUT US

COMPANY'S BI0

"Legacy of Peace" was born out of a passion to help parents navigate what can be one of the most difficult times in a family's life, the teen and pre-teen years. Karin and her husband Steve spent a year with their son going through the intensive, year-long Teen Challenge program. Both are advocates for Teen Challenge, however, Karin felt God’s calling to create a course that would implement the core principles and systems to help get families back on track quickly and effectively without having to go through a live-in program. "We thought we were doing everything right as the parents of three boys, but we felt desperate and hopeless when our youngest hit the teen years.” With that difficult and tumultuous time now in the past, Karin reflects and understands the importance of certain practices that can be easily overlooked and missed in our day-to-day family lives. "Legacy of Peace" is built on Christian principles that will help take your family into a freedom that will last a lifetime. These principles are especially important if your child is at the formative ages of 10-13 years old, so you can be proactive before the stress of their teen years begin. This program incorporates experienced guidance, spiritual reflection, mentoring, pastoral counseling, and even consults with a licensed psychologist to assist as you navigate your path forward in what can be an extremely emotional and stressful time in your lives. Legacy of Peace also gives back 10% from course purchases to future scholarships to Teen Challenge, for families that need more of an intensive program. Ultimately, our greatest hope is to leave your family with a truly lasting "Legacy of Peace".

FEMALE MENTOR-NIIA

Born and raised in a strong loving Christian family and community, in a small rural area called Raul Arsenio Oviedo, in Paraguay, the heart of South America, Nyah’s whole upbringing was surrounded and protected with prayer, God's Word and people of faith. Nyah studied multiple languages and traveled all around Germany in 2018 through a national competition she participated in and won. In 2020 she was blessed with the opportunity to come to Kansas City and nanny for a family as they studied at YWAM, which stands for Youth With A Mission. During her time in KC, Covid hit, and she remained in the United States and found the love of her life, to whom she is now married and living with in Florida. Although her childhood was not absent of trials, the true testing of her faith and character showed itself once she moved to the States. Not only were the opportunities here overwhelming, but also the temptations of the world, the desire for attention, material possessions, and the increased influence of non- believers around her, went against her godly upbringing. As her life was decaying and falling apart because of the poor decisions she had made, God encountered her at a crossroad with His love and kindness. She had to make the decision to either continue in her selfish ways and satisfy her own desires or surrender control of her life to her Maker to
live a life of purpose. Nyah’s Bible foundations and her newfound humility and love for Christ will surely be a blessing to your daughter’s.
