The church of Jesus Christ is in desperate need of godly men. For the church to be healthy, it must be led by men of integrity, humble men, men of love, and men who lay down their lives for the sheep. Additionally, for churches to be strong, they need to be made up of healthy, growing families led by faithful husbands and fathers who direct their family to believe in the Lord Jesus, and to walk in God’s ways.
