Thank you to everybody who donated through our Fathers Day Campaign. By now, you or your fathers should have received your packages. Because of you, we increased our monthly recurring donations by 20%. And because of you, several more church programs will be created through The Mentoring Project and those programs will mentor many, many more young men growing up without fathers. Our communications director will keep you posted via your e-mail. We are very grateful for our partnership with you to answer the crisis of fatherlessness in America.
On both Saturday night and Sunday morning, I will be speaking at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio. Oak Hills is Max Lucado’s church, and I’m looking forward to being with both Max and Randy Frazee and am honored to be able to visit with their people on Fathers Day. You can find out more on the church’s website, or you can watch the service live by clicking the live link on the church’s website.
Dr. John Sowers is representing The Mentoring Project at the White House for their Fathers-Day Activities. The President is devoting a considerable amount of his time to talk about the importance of responsible fatherhood, and to honor fathers who are doing a great job. What a privilege to have a representative in Washington on such a historic day.
Lastly, happy Fathers Day to you. If you are a dad, thanks for being a dad, thanks for loving your kids. They need it, by design. And if you have a strained of absent relationship with your dad, take all the comfort in the world that we have a father who has not neglected us. The job of our earthly fathers has always been to introduce their children to their “real” dad. And as insufficient as your earthly father was, take comfort in the fact your “real” dad fathers perfectly. We are not victims. All of our trials are blessings. I am so thankful for mine. What an incredible opportunity to introduce people to their real father. It’s great work.
Blessings,
Don Miller
