The mission of the Wesleyan Foundation For Men (WFFM)is simple:
“Our mission is to strengthen ministries that support men, youth, young adults, and families by providing financial support.”
Experience, studies and empirical data demonstrates irrefutably the positive outcomes that result from educating, equipping, empowering families with a spiritual and moral center. Everybody wants to succeed in life yet there are few opportunities to 
become equipped properly. Funding from WFFM supports groups and activities that deliver creative solutions to individuals and families. The data below illustrates how this changes family outcomes!
Healthy Families, Present Fathers, and Spiritual Growth
Research consistently shows that families tend to experience stronger outcomes when a husband and father is actively present and engaged, especially when he is pursuing a positive spiritual life.
A father’s presence contributes not only to economic stability, but also to emotional, behavioral, and developmental well-being in children. According to studies summarized by the Brookings Institution and Pew Research Center, children raised in two-parent households are significantly less likely to experience poverty and more likely to succeed academically and socially.
Similarly, research from the National Center for Fathering indicates that involved fathers contribute to higher self-esteem and lower rates of behavioral problems in children. Spiritual engagement also plays a meaningful role.
A Harvard study on adult development and multiple Pew surveys show that regular religious participation is associated with stronger family bonds, lower divorce rates, and higher levels of life satisfaction. Biblical teachings emphasizing love, responsibility, humility, and servant leadership often reinforce these outcomes.
When a husband is both present and growing spiritually, he is more likely to model integrity, emotional stability, and purpose. This creates an environment where trust, discipline, and encouragement flourish. The result is a family system that is more resilient, cohesive, and oriented toward long-term success.
These findings suggest that the combination of committed fatherhood and intentional spiritual growth can serve as a powerful foundation for healthy families and positive life outcomes.
