Good day people with a computer.
About a year ago I learned about an organization started by one of my favorite authors Donald Miller called The Belmont Foundation. When I was about four years old my Father left my Mother, two sisters and I. Being so young I didn’t totally understand what that meant. As I grew older the void left by having no male presence in my life was tough and I am still to this day wrestling with my own issues that this vacancy has left in my life. I was blessed with a great Mother and sisters but at this point in my life I have realized that in a country where over 50% of marriages end in divorce (including the church) we have over half of our country’s children growing up in single parent households.
The Belmont Foundation is devoted to help fill this need by developing mentoring programs for children (mostly boys) without Fathers. This is a cause that is very dear to my heart and I want to raise awareness of this epidemic in our culture. If you are interested in getting involved or learning more about this organization check out their website www.belmontfoundation.org.

Thanks for the information,my husband also was raised by his mother,his father left before he was born.He has been blessed more than once with the opportunity to mentor to kids without dads,the Lord just leads these little darlins right to our door,and they have always been such a blessing and joy!I think this helps to fill the void that will forever be in his heart. I will give him this website.

Hey guys!! I just wanted to let you know that I just heard “Live For You” On 94.9 KLTY in the DFW area!! It is a huge station, so I thought that was pretty awesome and I would pass it along!!
Hello again, Chris,
My father left us when I was 7. My brother was 12, my sister 13. My mom did the best she could rasing us as a single mother. Long testimony short, after 31 years, I found my father, we reconciled with one another and I had him in my life again for just about 3 years time, and then he died. God has and always will be my Father, but I loved the man he gave me as my Dad. My dad was saved, Praise God.
