Support The Mentoring Project for Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day to all you great dads out there. Thanks for doing the hard work of providing for your families, both financially and emotionally. And especially spiritually. Thanks for pointing your family to their true Father in all that you do. We know the work isn't easy, but both me and the folks at The Mentoring Project have high praise for you this week. Enjoy your fathers day, and I hope you are celebrated.

If you grew up without a Dad, you'll be glad to hear that The Mentoring Project has had an explosive year. We've partnered dozens of kids with older brother and father-figures. A recent match took place between our friends Don and his mentee Tony. Don read some statistics about what happens when Fathers abandon their children and felt compelled to do something about it. He signed up with TMP and today enjoys a friendship that is changing Tony's life, but also his own. Both of them were recently interviewed on CNN for a feature on mentoring. We are so proud of you guys! Way to go!!

If you don't know anything about The Mentoring Project, it all started several years ago after I wrote a book called Father Fiction. During that time I realized the issue of fatherlessness needed more than a book. Much more. I could see a generation hurting – and knew I had to do something. So I started The Mentoring Project. And it's been a joy to watch it grow from that one idea into an international movement.

If you've read my books, you probably know I grew up fatherless and had a lot of father figures growing up. I had a cast of characters that taught me a lot of things. In Junior High, one of those guys, David Gentiles, mentored me and encouraged me to write. I am a writer today because of him.

The Mentoring Project is about that. It's about taking ordinary guys and helping them mentor fatherless boys. The Mentoring Project is doing this in the lives of hundreds of boys. This is why, every month, I send them a gift. This Father's Day – join me and give a monthly gift to support a boy who is growing up without a dad.

Thank you and Happy Father's Day!
