Fathers in the Field Mission

To rekindle and establish the spirit of boys

who have been abandoned by their fathers; mentoring them one-on-one in life skills through outdoor activities, and by sharing a Christian understanding of our Heavenly Father’s love and sacrifice for His children.


Fathers in the Field works to achieve 3 important goals

 

FAITH

Demonstrate to boys that they have a Father in Heaven who created, loves and cares for them, and will never forsake them.

FATHERHOOD

Demonstrate fatherly love and commitment, to repair broken spirits and prepare the foundation for future fatherhood.

FORGIVENESS

Share the need for boys to forgive the failings of their earthly fathers, as our Heavenly Father forgives His children in Christ.
