We have met our $100,000 Matching Challenge!

We are happy to announce that the initial goal has been reached. Thanks to your faithfulness, the challenge has been met.

We want to extend a sincere thank you to Upstream Rehab, whose $14,000 gift was the final piece of the puzzle to hit that initial $100k mark.

Some long-term donors of the ministry were encouraged by the response and have extended the match! They will now match every gift given before January 31st for an additional $50,000! This means we have the potential to raise a total of $300,000 this season—funds that go directly toward Fatherless Camper Scholarships.

 

If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to support the matching fund, we are happy to share that it is extended for those who feel called to help.

Remember that 100% of our general and administrative costs are fully funded by private designated donations for that purpose so that 100% of the matched donations go to send fatherless youth/families to summer Christian camp!

OUR MISSION

To serve the fatherless by:

Providing opportunities to attend Christian camp

Creating, collecting and sharing ministry resources that intentionally serve the fatherless

Encouraging camps and other Christian partners in their calling to care for the fatherless

Raising awareness of the fatherless epidemic in America, the impact of being fatherless, and the Church's responsibility to the fatherless.

US children live without their father 

1 in 4

of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average.

of pregnant teenagers lack a father. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services press release,)

of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average.

of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (National Principals Association Report)

of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. 

of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes – 10 times the average

of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Fulton Co. Georgia, Texas Dept. of Correction)

The statistics tell us that many fatherless kids will grow up to become drug addicts, school drop-outs, alcoholics or teen suicide stories.
We believe God has a better plan.

Psalm68five partners with christian camps all over the country to provide scholarships or “Camperships” (our term), to children growing up without a father. If you are interested in applying for a Psalm68five campership, please contact the camp closest to you for information about their process.
