On-Site Training
The Single MOM will offer on-site support as they come to your area and assist you in evaluating the needs of Single Mothers in your area. They will offer training to the team or leadership and help develop a strategy to implement a single mother outreach in your area.
The Single MOM will offer on-going support and prayer as you step into ministry for these families (see Isaiah 2). Currently, the ministry is working with women and churches in the Dominican Republic to help them establish a nationwide ministry to Single Mothers.
The development of this ministry also involves training and equipping of the leaders in the area and throughout the nations who seek to reach out to single mothers.

Why we do it.
Historically, the only individual more vulnerable than the widow or single mother is her children. We long to partner with individuals, small groups, and churches to empower them to minister effectively to single mothers and their children, relieving them from the cycle of dysfunction and poverty.
In 1964, President Lyndon Johnson initiated the welfare program making sure that the government, not the church, was to be responsible for the poor and distressed. The church gladly said "yes" and abdicated her biblical mandate. Therefore, the blessings that go with ministering to the widow, orphan, and alien were abdicated also.
We have a vision to see the church receive the blessings outlined in Isaiah 58. We hope to see the church take back her God-given position of reaching out to these families. By equipping individuals, churches and communities to begin their own Single Mother Program, we can see this trend change.
In Theresa McKenna's book, "The Hidden Mission Field", she argues that possibly the reason for the huge success of the 1st Century church was their outreach to the widows and orphans. She writes that "the church in Antioch cared for three thousand widows. Josephus reportedly wrote to Rome that the citizens were astounded that these people calling themselves Christians cared not only for their own widows, but for others as well." There is another report that the church in Rome was caring for over fifteen hundred widows. She goes on to state that "the church will explode if we intentionally minister to these families".
Current statistics show that 67% of single parents in the United States do not actively attend a local church. Yet, less than 1% of all Christian evangelical churches have any sort of long-term, sustainable single parent ministry and/or outreach program.
While evidence points to the reality that these women and children need to be embraced by the local church body, it is also true that the local body is in desperate need of the talents, skills, and gifts that these women have.
In recent history the church has not been found to be the warm welcoming environment for Single Mothers to find safety and security while they rebuild their lives. The Single MOM KC is passionate about seeing this trend change.
