The Reconciled Fathers Network

… turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers or else I will come and strike the land with a curse … (Malachi 4:6 NIV)

Problems in fatherhood existed at least as far back as the Old Testament. In the very last scripture of the Old Testament (above) God issued the profound warning above.

In the 21st century the situation has only gotten worse. Because of divorces, separations, and births to un-married parents, 23 millions children in the U.S. live without their father. As God warned, fathers need to be reconciled to their children.

The Mission of the Reconciled Fathers Network is:

• to show separated-fathers how to use the Power of God’s Love to be Godly fathers to their children
• to help strengthen families by strengthening fathers
• to be a major resource of information for (and on) separated-reconciled fathers
• to introduce non-Christian separated-fathers to the saving grace of Jesus Christ
• to initiate and support programs to help separated-fathers be good and Godly fathers

Why is a Reconciled Fathers Network Necessary?

1. With the proliferation of father-absence, many men need a direct challenge to their manhood and the dignity. Their Reconciled Fathers Network will do that.
2. Many well-meaning men need help learning how to be good fathers because many had poor role models and did not learn from their own fathers who may have been absent as well.
3. A breakdown in the traditional strength of families in the U.S. and throughout the world can be traced (in part) to the erosion of the position and responsibility of fathers. The first step in fixing the family is to fix the father.
4. Many youth today have little or no respect for authority and have a creping moral degeneration. This is evidence of the decaying of the family unit in society. As the family unit becomes less and less of a fabric of cohesiveness other parts of society begin to breakdown as well. Strong fathers lead strong families which breed strong communities and strong societies.
5. The fatherhood movement and Christian men?s organization, while helping to raise the level of manhood, can benefit from focused attention in this challenging area – the reconciling of separated fathers.
6. We need to talk less about the problem and more about the solution.
7. It is time to challenge men in general and fathers in particular to ?Help Set a New Standard of FatherHood.?

Please join us in helping this ministry do the work of God in men and fathers.
