Men's mentoring program from Christian Men's network helps heal families, communities, schools in neighborhoods across America and the globe.

GRAPEVINE, TX, UNITED STATES, October 26, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Father absent homes are a leading indicator of community problems including poverty, hunger, addiction, truancy and crime.* Fatherlessness is an American epidemic with 41 percent of children born to single mothers.* One group has found an effective way to reduce these community problems through mentoring men and teaching character development to fathers and boys.

“Mentoring men is an effective and sustainable way to heal families and communities,” states Dr. Paul Louis Cole, Christian Men’s Network (CMN) cofounder and president. “Regardless of the neighborhood, culture, church or community, our leaders have seen restored lives, improved neighborhoods, higher graduation rates and increased church attendance"

In America, pastors, business leaders, government officials, school administrators, and prison chaplains find CMN materials remarkably effective in any culture or community. Churches with active men’s programs show an average increase of 20% in membership, giving and volunteers. Middle school principals report better attendance and reduced disciplinary incidences. Prison chaplains reported remarkable drops in inmate recidivism that were more than half the national average of 43%.

CMN was launched in 1977 with Maximized Manhood, which was authored by the late Dr. Edwin Louis Cole, the “Father of the Men’s Movement.” For thirty-nine years, Christian Men’s Network (CMN) has provided curriculum and supported grassroots efforts across the United States and 116 nations. In just October alone, CMN men's events were held in Indonesia, Vietnam, Germany, Uganda and Brazil.

As part of its global initiative this November, Christian men from around the world are converging at the Lions Roar 2016 Global Men’s Summit in Dallas Texas November 9-11. Lions Roar is designed to provide teaching and time to exchange strategic solutions. Leaders in men’s discipleship are coming from every state and from more than 50 nations to participate in workshops, Global Fatherhood Award Gala and breakout sessions including: Leadership Intensive, Pastors Roundtable, Business Success Summit and One Heart Women's event.

“These influential leaders are coming from the rugged streets of West Baltimore, the rough and tumble favelas of Rio, the tumultuous Philippines, and more,” Cole continues, “CMN is more than a ministry, we are a human justice mission strategically focused to defeat fatherlessness, stop child abuse, and improve communities. You can draw great crowds with great speeches, but you'll never change a nation until you mentor a man."

Leaders at Lions Roar 2016 will focus on helping Christian leaders advance and expand their mission with strategies that include mentoring, youth camps, social media, building strong families and powerful social communities. Dedicated men from all streams of Christianity are invited to Lions Roar on November 9-11, at Gateway Church/Grand Prairie, in Dallas, Texas.
Registration for Lions Roar 2016 is still open. Join men from across the world who are gathering for this extraordinary event. “Mission” is the theme for the Lions Roar Global Men’s Summit. Meetings will be held at Gateway Church, Grand Prairie, TX on Wednesday-Friday, November 9-11.
