Molding men. Forming fathers. Impacting Generations.
Clients who come to our centers are often becoming fathers before they are becoming men. Men’s Services has become a critical outreach in saving lives. We engage clients at our centers in authentic conversations around various life choices they are facing. Men find out they are seen, cared for, and valued, and that they have a voice. Those encounters then impact their partner and their unborn baby in a profound way.
Why Men Matter
Research shows that a father is the most influential voice on whether a mother will choose to keep her child. Many men that come through our doors have never had a father themselves, never been mentored, and simply do not know what it means to be a man or a father. They are hurting and aimless because they have never been invested in. Male clients that walk through the door are surprised that an appointment for their partner is now an appointment for them. In that moment, their expectations of how a pregnancy appointment would go are interrupted, and they find themselves having an opportunity to be seen and have their voice heard, possibly for the first time. Men’s Services has a unique opportunity to not only play an active role in saving unborn children, but also to share the love of Christ with a young man who needs to experience the care of others.
Men Make a Measurable Impact
When men come to know the love of their Heavenly Father, the impact on their families is exponential. When men are not molded, they cannot mold others; when fathers are not formed, they cannot form their children or even see their unborn child as needing them. Men need advocates and coaches who will help them become who God created them to be. When men discover who their Creator made them to be, they can lead their families, love their partners well, and be an advocate for their unborn child.
The Future of Men’s Services
Men naturally desire to be good providers. When an unexpected pregnancy arrives, however, provision can be a real stress point, especially for someone who is not established in their life. To counter this, Men’s Services is poised to build a network of Christian business owners that can help give new fathers-to-be a desperately needed job opportunity and further impact them with the love of Christ. Building a network of Christian business owners can also help close the gap of getting men from our centers into local churches and community. New programs will be offered to teach parenting and life skills and further develop men into leaders at home and in the community. Men’s Services will continue to build a network of male coaches and mentors who can continue the work of molding men and forming fathers, all while working to get men plugged into a local church body.
