Building leaders, one dad at a time.

The Global Fatherhood Initiative trains leaders in regional hubs that multiply into nations or cultures. The goal is to deliver tools to mentors and teachers in Family Resource Packs, augmented by digital delivery through a robust online training portal.

This discipleship intervention system empowers godly fathers who can then produce strong families, which build powerful churches. As a result, it drastically reduces the rates of fatherlessness, child abuse and human trafficking around the world

The Global Fatherhood Initiative is designed to spread the message of the Gospel in the local language, no matter where CMN leaders go. This makes the Gospel more easily accessible and accepted among diverse cultures, enabling our men to train others who will help the ministry spread and grow organically across the globe. 

Under the CMN discipleship model, a ministry is proven successful when it is

  • Measurable, with verifiable results
  • Reproducible among local towns and villages with little direct intervention or investment
  • Sustainable, with a deep impact that has become part of the cultural fabric

The Global Fatherhood Initiative is a comprehensive solution for entire communities.

To many civic leaders:

It is an economic engine, solving the poverty issues caused by fatherlessness.

For educators:

It solves learning issues associated with hungry children.

For Law Enforcement:

It solves localized violence issues.

For Social Workers:

It provides solutions to family dysfunctions.

For Pastors:

it provides an army of men willing to do the work—men that have the
pastor’s back.

Rescue the helpless

These sisters were rescued. They were sold to sex traffickers and abused. 

THE PROBLEM IS SUPPLY AND DEMAND

  • As long as there is demand, traffickers will supply victims.
  • It’s a man’s job to stop the demand by reaching the hearts of men.
  • CMN does not duplicate what others do. CMN men stay in our lane and hit the issues of manhood with clarity and power, accomplishing the mission with maximum force

Greg Jones

Men’s Pastor at Grays Harbor Foursquare Church, Aberdeen, Washington

“After several attempts to engage men, we started doing exactly what the MoMENtum Guide said. We had a great men's event then took the men through the books and workbooks. By the next year, we had almost doubled. We continually increase in men. The church has never been stronger. We are pumped!”

Dwayne Pickett, Ph.D.

Pastor, New Jerusalem Church, Jackson, Mississippi

“From our four campuses, our strong men are impacting the city! We had a passion for discipling men. Majoring in Men gave us the pattern. It's built strong men, and even revolutionized my relationship with my sons. We followed the Guide, adapting the curriculum to our culture. Today, my men have my back. They're involved and investing.”

Transforming the World Starts with Men

Great sermons draw large crowds, but true, radical transformation happens on a smaller scale - within families and churches. 

Globe

Why does the world need a Global Fatherhood Initiative? Because we can gather great crowds with great sermons, but we will never transform families or nations until we disciple and transform the men.

Christian Men’s Network has built the time-tested models proven in every culture and economic strata to be measurable, reproducible, and sustainable.
