I will never take My love away from him...1 Chronicles 17:13


Mother’s Commitment

In order to fully benefit from this opportunity, I promise and commit, with God’s help to the following:

  • To permit and encouragemy son to attend all F.I.T.F. JourneyTalks. If he is unable to attend, I will encourage my son to call his Mentor Father as soon as possible, and reschedule their time together. As much as is in my power, I will not let anything conflict with their time together.

  • To help my son to be prompt in attendance. I understand that they will meet once per month for the Journey Talk and Celebration Event on a mutually agreed upon day and time.

  • To permit and encourage my son to complete and participate in the Journey Talks and activities. I understand that it is important for my son to grow in his understanding of faith, forgiveness and fatherhood.

  • To encourage my son to follow the Fathers in the Field Compass by reading daily from the Journey Guide, Wisdom from the Father and memorizing the Verse of the Month. I understand that this will take him 10-15 minutes per day.

  • To permit and encourage my son to prepare for and attend his Annual Celebration Journey Event.

  • To permit and encourage my son to establish a servant’s heart by serving the needy in our community. This will involve him a few hours every month serving the needy with anything they might need help with, i.e. yard work, fixing something around the house, etc.

  • To permit and/or go with my son and hisMentor Father to Sunday School and church at least two out of the four Sundays. I understand that it is so important to develop a caring church family where the truth about our Heavenly Father’s love is taught every week.
