Fathers' 3-10 Initiative
Fathers leading children to Christ, one magical moment at a time.
Founded by Virgil Anderson, the Fathers' 3-10 Initiative is a global discipleship program designed to help fathers build a stronger relationship with their young children, ages 3 to 10, through Bible-based devotional reading. The program is supported by leading global Christian organizations, including Cru and CEF.
As fathers, the time you spend with your young children matters more than you may realize. In a world filled with distractions and competing demands for their attention, your child needs time with you. These moments build your relationship and help shape how your child understands the world, faith, and what it means to follow God.
The App
Make these moments part of your life now.
The mobile app puts everything you need to begin these meaningful moments with your child right in your hands. Choose a lesson, sit down together, and discover God's Word side by side. No complicated preparation. Just you, your child, and a few minutes set aside to connect.
One Child at a Time
Just you and your child
Set aside time with each of your children individually. Give your full attention, listen closely, and share a special moment together.
Listen to Their Heart
Listen. Really listen.
As you explore the Bible together, listen to what your child thinks and believes. Their answers give you a glimpse into their heart, and an opportunity to know them better.
Take Notes
Every answer matters
The questions are opportunities for your child to share their thoughts. Write their answers down carefully to show them what they say matters to you.
Build Something Lasting
Faith. Relationship. Life.
When you give your child your attention, you build trust. When you explore God's Word together, you build faith. These moments can become a foundation for a lifelong relationship.
