Fatherlessness

Did you know that youth from fatherless homes account for:

63 precent of youth suicides
71 percent of pregnant teenagers
90 percent of all homeless and runaway children
70 percent of juveniles in state-operated institutions
85 percent of all youth sitting in prison
85 percent of all youth who exhibit behavior disorders
80 percent of rapists motivated with displaced anger
71 percent of high school dropouts
75 percent of all adolescents in chemical abuse centers
(from the Mentoring Project Operations Manual)

It's time we (the church) come together to rewrite the fatherless story in our nation!
