In Central Florida, Western Kentucky, and Texas, IAM hosts hunting and fishing retreats, lake days, sports camps, and worship events that are impactful life experiences for fatherless youth.  Putting on each of these involves equipment, facility upkeep, licensing, insurance, and materials for kids. It is the policy of IAM to be sure no single mother, grandmother, guardian, or youth is ever charged for these life experiences.

When we choose to “do life” with these incredible families, we learn of needs along the way that sometimes seem insurmountable to the moms and grandmas trying to make it on their own. We can’t meet every need, but, with your help, we can meet as many as possible.

Ministry is never easy, but it is a worthy calling, and we are so thankful for the teammates who have answered the call to serve the fatherless! Our team has to help raise their support to do the work of IAM and to provide for the families we serve. Your donation would allow them to pursue the mission of IAM by providing for their families.

The cost has significantly increased for groceries and meals for every retreat, camp, school event, mentorship meeting, and reward meals for meeting goals. Any amount will help IAM as it is always our goal to help meet physical needs so that then we can pour into the spiritual needs of these youth.

Outdoor activities can require specific clothing in order to protect students while they are participating. IAM provides gear for kids at all lodges and allows them to keep shirts, jackets, pants, boots, hats, and socks as a way to provide for their physical needs during retreats and bless them after. We meet the needs of many of our youth during the back-to-school and Christmas seasons as well.
