As most of you know, I serve the Lord as Executive Director of Families Matter, and our team of ministry associates works alongside me, providing biblical teachings in schools, churches, and partnering organizations. In 2023, we sponsored nearly 200 classes and events to strengthen families, encourage dads, and mentor youths.

This coming year, we will continue to sponsor sessions such as:

• The Nurturing Parents program equips men and women with the skills for healthy family development.
• The 12 Principles of Manhood classes teach boys in schools the biblical principles for becoming men of integrity.
• Dynamic Dads trains rookie fathers on how to become responsible and involved dads in the lives of the mothers and their newborns.
• 24/7 Dads help fathers and father figures strengthen their relationship with their children.
• AFIRM – A Father’s Involvement Really Matters is a program where low-income fathers involved with child support are taught skills that increase involvement with their children and strengthen co-parenting relationships with their children’s mothers.
• Our summer intensive programs help young and seasoned individuals understand what it takes to obtain and maintain a job.

Please pray for us as we strive to nurture more families by strengthening fathers in 2024. You can sign up to be a prayer partner at http://familiesmattermemphis.org/prayer-partner/. Your prayers for Families Matter’s associates and clients are a must.
