This class is for young men ages 12-21 who have grown up without their fathers or had negligent fathers. Statistics show that 3 out of 4 boys grow up without their fathers in the home, as a result gang memberships have increased, teenage pregnancy has increased, prison incarcerations have increased, while grades in school have decreased, and church attendance has decreased.
This class will present specific instructions from a biblical perspective and give you specific strategies to save your son, and for your son to save himself from the destructiveness of this world. Elder Gardner has been through what you are going through – raised by a single mom, and should have been a statistic, but God blessed him in spite of the obstacles, and made him a man of integrity, knowledge, and wisdom!
Don’t miss a single session, this class will give your son a new perspective on life and help him to find what he has been searching for in life – Manhood God’s Way.
