THE IMPACT OF ONE MAN’S YES
One Man Can Make a Difference
This past year, many of us felt the devastating force of extreme weather as it tore through several communities, sparing no one in its path of destruction. The Garcia family, a sweet foster family we have the privilege of serving, was hit particularly hard.
A fallen tree crashed onto their roof, destroying the children’s bedroom and beds, while the yard was left in shambles with toppled play set parts and debris scattered everywhere.
The family, led by a single mother who has adopted two of her grandchildren and fostered three other children, was left feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn for help.
Enter Man Up and Cameron into the story.
He learned about Man Up through a group of men studying the Patros study at his local church, which emphasized taking action in the fight for the fatherless.
When Man Up called for volunteers to assist foster families impacted by the storm, Cameron stepped up. Armed with a rake and a smile, he joined in to serve several families affected by the hurricane. Cameron took to heart the call to be not just a "hearer of the Word, but a doer"—and he did just that.
The Garcia family was deeply moved by the support they received from Cameron and the men of Man Up. With tears, Ms. Garcia expressed her gratitude, saying, “We couldn’t have done this without you.”
Patros provides a discipleship tool designed to inspire men to take action, urging them not to stand by and wait for someone else to solve the problem.
Churches are filled with men like Cameron, who have a desire to serve but aren't sure where to start.
Patros not only offers inspiration but also provides practical steps to help men become “doers of the Word.” This is why the Church needs Patros more than ever!
Just as Ms. Garcia expressed that she couldn’t have accomplished what she needed without our help, the same is true for the vision God has given us to reach 100 churches with the Patros studies by 2025. You could be the key to fulfilling that vision. To achieve this goal, Man Up has launched an end-of-year campaign to raise $45,000
Your best year-end gift can help put this powerful discipleship tool into the hands of hundreds of men who are eager to make a difference but don't know where to start.
