And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers…” Malachi 4:6 (ESV)
When I think about the goal of fatherless ministry, I don’t only think of the fatherless being healed of those proverbial “father wounds,” especially through the knowledge and the touch of God, but I also get caught up in the best-case scenario: those absent fathers to return to their families (in whatever way is appropriate and possible), carrying the knowledge of God and His gospel. No one can touch a fatherless family like a dad who knows the Father.
Let it be so, God.
