BECOMING BETTER FATHERS IS A MATTER FOR EVERY COMMUNITY
WILL YOU BE THE ONE TO HELP YOUR CHURCH
UNDERSTAND WHAT FATHERHOOD SHOULD BE?
STAND UP AND SAY: “I WILL!”
Fatherlessness is widespread and its effects are far reaching. The
FATHERS MATTER...
children from fatherless homes are more likely to abuse drugs, to live in poverty
and to engage in criminal activity.
The amount of time a father spends with his
child -- one-on-one -- averages less than 10
minutes a day.
Even in homes where the father is present, he may be struggling with career, life’s
purpose or marital issues. Dads are often busy and disconnected. Your
community isn’t immune to these realities.

COURAGEOUS is your opportunity to take a stand and to make a change for the
sake of your family, your church, your community and our nation.
COURAGEOUS
ABOUT THE MOVIE
Adam Mitchell is a husband, father and seasoned law enforcement officer. On
the job he’s confident and courageous. At home he gives less than his best. But
it’s still good enough, right? When tragedy strikes close to home, Adam is left
wondering if he has what it takes to deal with life’s toughest challenge...
fatherhood. He and four friends unite to be as courageous in their homes as they
are on the streets.
Men like Adam will be challenged to turn their hearts toward God and to steer
their families to a renewed commitment to Christ in the home. When men step up,
your church and its families will never be the same.
90% of all homeless and runaway children
are from fatherless homes.
Fatherless children are twice as likely to drop
out of school.
Department of Health and Human Services, Survey on Child Health
Fatherless children are at a dramatically
greater risk of drug and alcohol abuse,
mental illness, suicide, poor educational
performance, teen pregnancy, and
criminality.
National Center for Health Statistics, Survey on Child Health
Canadian single mother households are four
times more likely to be poor.
Canadian Journal of Economics
Children who exhibited violent behaviour at
school were 11 times more likely not to be
living with their fathers.
