Stepping Up helping young fathers practically

Well the time has come to share the news!!

Stepping Up young fathers has completed it's five year strategic plan.  And our main focus is to help these young dads practically, how are we going to do this?  Simple, sustainable work initiatives.  We are looking at a business idea that we can sustain these young dads and their families.

Our focus will be on raising funds so we can open a business that can employ young dads in the community of Surrey.  Incorporating a trades program, schooling program and much needed counseling.  but the focus will be on getting these young dads working first.  If we can't reach these young dads practically we won't be able to reach the inner man and heal deep wounds caused by their own pasts and father issues.

After working directly with these young dads over a year now the struggle of these young fathers has been very apparent to me! The depth of the struggles these young men face are huge!  Their safety now and for a better future is in jeopardy!

If we look at Maslow's hierarchy of needs chart I can show you exactly were the majority of these young men are, they are lacking the security for a better future for them and their young families.

  These young men are in the safety category the one in red.  I have really struggled to find away to truly help these young men.  Until one day I realized that these young men lives parallel this chart.  If they are   struggling to find safety in housing,food and employment they will be hard pressed to find any inner healing or open up to a God who can truly change their situation.

So continue to pray about how you may donate time or give financially to what we are doing at Stepping  Up.  You can be apart of changing a young dads life.  It would be great to have you on board in what ever way you see fit.

Blessings,David
