Why Are We Here?

For every 10 men in the average church...

• 9 will have kids who leave the church
• 8 will not find their jobs satisfying
• 6 will pay monthly minimum on credit cards
• 5 have a major problem with pornography
• 4 will get divorced affecting 1,000,000 children each year
• Only 1 will have a biblical worldview
• All 10 will struggle to balance family & work

The numbers are not pretty...

• 66,000,000 men don't know Christ.
• Only 6,000,000 men in discipleship.

• 33% of all children are born out of wedlock.
