Defending the Cause: Hero of the Fatherless-Phil Steenstra

“We do the four contacts a month. Each contact is built into the fabric of your life: church, serving widows, enjoying the outdoors. It becomes natural, but you also realize your FB wouldn’t come do these things his own, so this is the Gospel in action. It’s a joy not a burden. Serving doing what I love and inviting this young man into my life and giving to him. I initially thought it would be a huge life changing commitment but it’s not. These are things you are already going to do, but now you are part of the solution to the fatherless issue in our country. You’re bring this boy to experience life in Christ with you.” ~ Phil Steenstra

Every year the ministry creates a video around one of Mentor Father/Field Buddy pairings to help churches promote the Ministry on Father’s Day. This year’s video centers around Mentor Father Phil Steenstra and his Field Buddy Kamden.

Please take the time today to watch this powerful testimony of the good God does when a Christian man steps into the life of a fatherless boy.
