Thursday Giveaway – Fatherless Generation

by Mason

Fatherlessness is a story that many can resonate with, and it has devastating consequences for individuals and communities alike. From shame and loneliness, to gangs and teen pregnancy, fatherlessness is a driving force behind many of young people’s greatest struggles.

But it doesn’t have to be that way, we can reach out to the fatherless and be their for them when their own fathers were not, all while pointing them to the Father of us all.

In Fatherless Generation: Redeeming the Story, John Sowers recounts his own story of fatherlessness and how it led to him working with Don Miller on The Mentoring Project.

To enter this week’s giveaway comment below with one example of how the Church can come alongside the fatherless.

Also, a bonus entry is a available if you comment a second time letting us know that you shared a link to this giveaway on Facebook, Twitter, or your blog.

  1. I have been part of churches which had “mentoring men” outings, when the men in the church would all go camping for a night or two, taking along the young men in the church who were fatherless (in various ways). This is a great ministry the church can do. Showing men how to live is something they can learn in a church service, but they can learn different ways of doing life in the wild!

  2. One thing a church can do to hellp.the fatherless is to have a special outing event. Our church would buy a whole section of seats at a minor league baseball game.
