Part of our mission is seeing the men who come to our program be "equipped to be the husbands, fathers, and Godly men they were created to be."

Check out these stats on the importance of fathers in the home. The masculinity some call "toxic" is actually exactly what our kids need. When dad is home, kids stay off drugs, in school, and out of trouble. Su***de rates, teen pregnancy, and feelings of depression/ anxiety all decrease dramatically when dad is home.

There are 377k families in Ohio in "single parent, no father present" families. We need a push to return the father to the head of the household, because thats where God designed him to be.

Every time a man gets sober, healed , and restored to his children's lives, families futures change for the better.
When a man gets his life together before having children and leads his family right from the start, it doesn't just change a mans life, it changes generations.
We are watching God change men who's impact and legacy will be felt long after we are gone. What a blessing!

We do so by exploring the links between family structure and co...

There are 15 beds at Outreach. And when all are full, we have to go on a waiting list. I HATE not having a bed for a guy who says hes ready. I have 2 men on the list right now. The phone is ringing EVERY SINGLE DAY. God is moving. The men here are taking steps forward. Its a great time to be at Outreach.

I am so thankful for the volunteers helping us get the old church ready to house 12-14 guys. This would double our capacity. Monthly donations are the lifeblood of our support team.They help us provide food, housing, discipleship and training to these men in crisis. If you feel led to donate to help with operational costs and Capitol improvements, please visit Www.theoutreachministries.com/donate

Spent some time in Panama with a team last week..
We Spent one morning at a program similar to Outreach called Paraiso Celestial. Pastor Jose has over 80 men there, being set free from addiction thru faith, discipled towards maturity in Christ, and receiving job/education training.
We saw many men make decisions to reconcile their lives with God that day, and many more encounter His freedom and love during ministry time.

Addiction is world wide
But God has places like Outreach and PC all over the world too!!
