TWNAF - Founded on the common sense and the principles for healthy family we find in the Bible, The World Needs A Father is about training communities of men to understand the value of their role as fathers, and giving them the tools to train other men around them.

TWNAF conference will take us through the 4 pillars of a father:

A Father Establishes MORAL AUTHORITY A Father Confers IDENTITY A father Provides SECURITY A Father Affirms POTENTIAL The Brilliant Mother - Forming a strong and united husband and wife team builds a firm foundation from which authority, discipline and love is exercised toward the children. This is achieved by the husband loving his wife and the wife validating, affirming, respecting her husband and by honouring him as the representative of Father God in the home.
