Elaine Bond has successfully single parented her three beautiful
daughters Amy, Natalie and Laura from diapers to graduation. Regardless
of her circumstances and many responsibilities, Elaine's heart is
always for her home. She imparts this love to other women through
writing, teaching and television because she carries a deep concern for
this generation's abandoned and hurting children.
Having graduated from London Teacher's College, Elaine has used her
teaching gift to write a course and books to both inspire the single
parent mother and equip her in her role. Elaine had formal teaching
experience in Public Schools at the elementary level. Her volunteer
teaching experience includes Sunday School, Big Sisters, Young Life of
Canada and ACE. Elaine is a member of Lakemount Worship Centre,
Grimsby, Ontario. Elaine is also a licensed minister.
Elaine home schooled her older girls up to the sixth grade and the
youngest to grade eight. Amy is a graduate of Bible School and public
relations and business communications with honors. She is married to
Peter Karl Youngren, the Sr. Associate Pastor of Toronto Celebration
Church. Natalie graduated from World Impact Bible Institute and is
married to Darrick Vanderwier. Together they pastor youth, helping and
encouraging young people - many of those are from broken homes. Laura,
the youngest, is in college taking a program in office administration.
Having originally supported her children
outside the home through real estate and the
ownership of her two consignment stores, Elaine
now advocates home business for women. This lets
them fulfill their primary responsibilities,
children and household, while also earning a
living. As well, Elaine understands the struggle
of welfare moms, having humbly but thankfully
turned to the government for assistance during a
very broken and difficult time in her life.
Because of their own story, Elaine and her
children desire to extend a hand of compassion
and direction to both hurting women and children
who are struggling in a fatherless home.
