The Fathers' 3-10 Initiative
Fathers Leading Children to Christ, One Magical Moment At a Time
The Fathers' 3-10 Initiative is a men's movement in which fathers dedicate five-minutes of one-on-one time sharing scripture with each of their children within the 3-10 year age group. The two commit to 3 - 5 sessions per week, involving just one child at a time.
​
* The child enjoys quality 1-1 time with the father.
* The father gets to know his child on a more personal basis.
*The child comes to respect the father as a role model.
*The father has the satisfaction of leading his child to a life in Christ.
Here Is How It Works
-
Obtain your copy of the 60 Day Wonder Devotional Book. Each contains 60 individual five minute lessons suited to the child's age level. ​
-
Set aside time alone with the child on a frequent basis. Read one lesson each session, engaging the child in the discussion topics provided.
-
Begin with the Critical Event Guide involving the first eight readings. We hope that after using the guide through the first two weeks, both father and child will want to continue.
-
Obtain additional booklets below from our vendor partner. There are 18 total books with 1080 lessons.
Why Should You Do This?
Do you have children in the 3-10 age range?
Have you ever considered that your children may live forever in some realm beyond this life?
Does it seem reasonable that, as the child's father, you have a great responsibility for what happens to your child in his or her forever life?
Does a five minute per day investment in your child's forever future seem like a good idea?
​
If you have answered 'Yes' to these questions, it is time to make the commitment. The prime time for your child to benefit from the experience is already disappearing.
