The Canberra Declaration's goal is to make a stand for
Faith, Freedom and Family. We are constantly fighting against the erosion and destruction of these important values. Our goal, as much as possible, is to make a stand in the positive. That is what we did last week, with the exciting release of the
WAR ROOM movie (more about that later).
This Sunday, 6 September, is Father's Day and along with Mother's Day, it's a day worth celebrating. Father's Day gives us all an opportunity to make a stand for the positive. We encourage you to celebrate it with your family and speak words of hope and encouragement to the fathers you know. May we all celebrate the joys of fatherhood and family this coming weekend.
This is also a time for us to reach out to single mums and fatherless children and take them into our families and show them the love of our Father in Heaven. Psalm 68, verse 5 says that God is a father to the fatherless and a defender of widows in His holy dwelling.
To celebrate Father's Day 2015 the
Dads4Kids Fatherhood Foundation is organising the
'Dads4Kids Instagram Photo Competition'. We at the Canberra Declaration believe this is an opportunity to get behind a charity that is reaching out to our communities to fulfil the words of Malachi 4:6,
to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers.
The mission statement of the Dads4Kids Instagram Photo Competition is Inspire Fathers and Encourage Families, a goal worthy of your support. This is an occasion for you, your friends and your family to capture favourite moments between dads and their children and win $1,000 prize money.
