Why have a mens ministry? • Studies show that for every ten men in the average church: • 9 will have kids who leave the church • will not find their jobs satisfying • will pay monthly minimum on credit cards • Only 1 will have a biblical worldview • All 10 will struggle to balance family & work • (Statistics cited by Man In the Mirror, USA)
Therefore, if men get it right, everybody wins. Why have a men's ministry? • Research shows that when a mother comes to faith in Christ, the rest of the family follows her example 17% of the time. • When a father comes to faith in Christ, the rest of the family follows his example 93% of the time.
