discussion that the mother-to-be needed from the father.
Johnathon and his girlfriend got married and soon welcomed
their baby daughter.
Johnathon is an example of the many men who are invited and
encouraged to participate in our services. This couple is a
testament to the guidance, support, and encouragement that
ABC provides to both the mother and the father.
Your support to our ministry helps us reach and support more
men like Jonathon. Men who believe in a society that teaches
that their voice does not matter. Jonathan is one of the many
reasons we have created a men’s program here at ABC. It's
time to rise up against a culture that ask men to be silent and
let the world know that MEN have a voice that matters.
