Approximately 18 million children in the United States live without a biological, step or adoptive father present in the home. The Alliance for Ending the Fatherless Epidemic is not only on a mission to eliminate fatherlessness by providing resources and grants but is also announcing the debut of its new documentary, THE FATHERLESS EPIDEMIC. Available for free on YouTube beginning Friday, March 31st at 5 p.m. CT, the film highlights mentorship as a solution to the nationwide issue of fatherlessness, challenging churches and ministries to stand in the gap.“The 21st-century version of a widow is the single mom, and the orphan is a fatherless kid,” said Executive Director and Founder of The Alliance for Ending the Fatherless Epidemic Eric Swithin. “It’s time for churches to raise men to be intentional about identifying the fatherless in their communities and doing something about it.”
