IMAGINE...

Hearts of fathers connected to their children.
​The Body of Christ connected to life-affirming ministry the way God wants them to be connected.

Let’s not just imagine. Let’s make these connections.

Birth of a Family is a proven relational-discipleship platform that connects fathers’ hearts to their children and the Body of Christ to life-affirming ministry the way God wants them to be connected.

WHAT IS...

BIRTH OF A FAMILY?
  • Are you looking for better ways to protect pre-born lives?

  • Are you looking for better ways to connect the Body of Christ to life-affirming ministry?

  • Are you frustrated by recidivism where single mothers keep showing up with the same problem but different fathers of their children? 

  • Would you like for people to be set free from cycles of unhealthy relationships?

  • Do you believe children need their fathers?

  • Will it be impossible to effectively address our toughest problems like poverty, abuse, neglect, mental illness, and addiction without completing family circles with fathers?

Proud Parents

“The success of Birth of a Family has been phenomenal. After over twenty years of serving as a pregnancy resource center director, I am now seeing one of my dreams come true. We are reaching the fathers.”

James Smith was one of the very first fathers to experience Birth of a Family in 2006. After participating in Birth of a Family activities with the mother of his child, James made a comment that reminds me why we do this. He said, “Birth of a Family turned everything around. It helped me see things in a whole new way.” That’s my dream and my dream, come true.

BIRTH OF A FAMILY 
is a recipe for making two colossal connections—
the way God
wants them to be made.

Part 1

CREATED

In the first section of this book, ten true case studies will give you an inside look at how others have used this special recipe to create new Birth of a Family communities. You will discover how others have:

  • Responded to the compelling drive of God’s call to find a better way

  • Scaled and adapted their Birth of a Family communities to many diverse situations and people

  • Increased volunteering by two to three times pre-implementation level

  • Remained persistently committed through challenges

  • Experienced the fruit of connecting fathers’ hearts to their children and the Body of Christ to life-affirming ministry.

Part 2

CREATING

The purpose of the first section of this book, CREATED, was to help you see what Birth of a Family is through the eyes and hearts of people who have experienced it. Dating back to 2006, when the first new Birth of a Family community was created, you got an inside look at some of the diverse opportunities, difficult challenges, and surprising victories.

 

The purpose of the second section of this book, CREATING, is to help you create Birth of a Family communities of your own.
