ABOUT US
Why We Exist
We are deeply concerned that single parent families – today’s widows and fatherless and the most vulnerable families – are outside the Church and in distress.
We believe the Church, not the government, is responsible for providing holistic care and oversight to these families.
Having pioneered single parent ministry within both churches and parachurch organizations, we understand the unique needs of single parents and are uniquely positioned to help churches effectively reach and engage them. Our goal is to leverage our collective voice and experience to train and equip more churches to embrace and prioritize single parent family ministry.
Mission
Mobilizing the Church to reach and restore the growing population of single parent families.
Vision
To see millions of single parent families seek out and engage with the Church and ultimately find a life-changing relationship with Jesus as they feel welcomed, understood, and deeply valued.
To see the Church elevated as it demonstrates the gospel to a watching world by ministering to today’s widows and fatherless, and provides a needed solution to one of our nation’s greatest social challenges.

“It is time for the Body of Christ to rise up, to reach out, to go beyond the walls, to plant ministries and Sunday School classes for these families, to be life, hope, encouragement, and strength – to be the Church.”
– Jennifer Maggio, CEO of The Life of a Single Mom Ministries
“Single parenting was not God’s desire, but it is a reality which the Church is struggling to address... The Daddy Gap is a must read for every church to enable them to be more effective in reaching the single parents in their communities.”
– Asher Sargeant, Church Missions Coach
I receive your Hope Notes. Today's message about wrestling with God was a confirmation that I needed to end a relationship with someone. I praise God for speaking to me through your ministry.

Praise God for your ministry...This is the need of the hour in our world.
– Dhana, pastor in India.
In the Bible, God repeatedly instructs us to pay special attention to this population (widows and fatherless), and I regret that I didn't notice them or understand the magnitude of their needs until I experienced the struggle firsthand.
