Did You Know?

It is amazing to think anymore our children and youth are simply becoming another statistic, simply another number that is recorded. Did you know that:

70% of all youth in prisons are from fatherless homes
63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes
71% of teenage pregnancies are from fatherless homes
75% of drug abusers are from fatherless homes
90% of all homeless are from fatherless homes

Taken from: US Dept of Health & Human Services. National Center for Health Statistics. Survey on Child Health. Washington, DC. 1993.

This is information I received recently from the Mentoring Project.


For the Sake of His Name,
