Interesting statistics from “No Man Left Behind” by Pat Morley

There are ~108,000,000 men in America. Of those:
  • 61% make no profession of faith - 39% profess faith in Christ
  • In the average American church, there are 3 women for every 2 men
  • 60% of 1st marriages end in divorce
  • 24,000,000 children will go to bed w/out a biological father in the home
  • 50% of children from broken homes have not seen their father in over a year
  • 1/3 of births is to an unwed mother
  • The U.S. leads the world in fatherless families

For every ten men in the church today

  • Nine will have children who leave the church
  • 8 will not find their jobs satisfying
  • 6 will pay the monthly minimum on credit cards
  • 5 will have a major problem with pornography
  • 4 will get divorced
  • All will struggle to balance work and family

When a mother comes to faith in Christ, the rest of her family follows 17 percent of the time. But when a father comes to faith, the rest of the family follows 93 percent of the time.
*Focus on the Family
