Listening to the Heart of God

Rewarding Journey

Congratulations and Thank You

On behalf of Fathers in the Field and abandoned boys, we would like to congratulate you for embarking on one of the most rewarding journeys of your life. A repetitive theme throughout the Bible is that God Himself looks after the needs of the fatherless. The cause of the fatherless strikes at the very center of God’s heart and He has promised great rewards for those who defend the cause of the fatherless (Isaiah 1:17). Consequently, some ofHis harshest judgments are reserved for those who abuse or take advantage of the fatherless, and on those who sit idly by watching the abuse take place.

Fathers in the Field was established with the deep conviction to answer God’s call to defend the cause of the fatherless through the provision of godly mentoring fathers. The ill effects of growing up without a father upon the boy, the family and our society are profound.We are confident that through your faithful commitment to a fatherless boy that his future will be much brighter and that you will have the distinct privilege of introducing him to the Heavenly Father and to His Son, Jesus Christ.

For a boy who has been abandoned by his earthly father, hearing the healing and encouraging words that he has a Father in Heaven who created him, loves himandwill never forsake himis a powerful and grace-filled perspective.

For a Mentor Father to put his arm around his Field Buddy and tell the boy howproud he is of himfor learning new outdoor skills or for helping a widow in need, may be the turning point from the damaging effects and statistics caused by abandonment.

For the single mom to know that a godly man is helping guide her precious boy into authentic Christianmanhood, is an answer to grief-filled prayers. And for your church, please understand that, as a church, you are fulfilling God’s call to reach out to help the fatherless and widows in your own neighborhood and community by sharing God’s truths and also demonstrating God’s mercy.

We pray that God’s Spirit will equip you for every challenge that lies ahead and that He will richly bless you and your family as you embark on this journey and heed God’s calling upon your life.
