Every Child Deserves a Loving Dad

Global Fatherhood Initiative is a human justice mission focused on defeating fatherlessness and stopping child abuse. As a result of sweeping global success, CMN has launched the Global Fatherhood Initiative—a strategic effort focusing on defeating fatherlessness, ending child abuse, and setting men free from sin and Satan.

Measurable—Reproducible—Sustainable

Global Fatherhood Initiative speaks the message of the Gospel in the language of the culture. This lowers resistance to the Gospel, allowing the ministry to reach every area of culture. From the leaders who train others, the ministry spreads and grows organically, so it becomes:

• Measurable. Results are verifiable that it’s working.
• Reproducible. It can be replicated locally and grown without constant direct intervention.
• Sustainable. It has deep impact and becomes a part of the cultural fabric.
