“Caring for Widows” has a biblical error and a biblical omission relating to believers caring for widows.
I have concluded that two adult men should be involved in mentoring relationships with boys, and this includes providing transportation to youth groups.
According to Warren Farrell and John Gray in The Boy Crisis, fathers are critical for the wellbeing of their sons and daughters.
How about this for a great men’s ministry idea? Provide a garage-like Men’s Shed just for men, especially for retired or unemployed men struggling with loneliness and depression.

One of the best ways to reach unchurched fatherless boys is to focus on ministries that draw the fatherless into churches. I’ll start with the most obvious.
Proper male role models for fatherless boys, both husbands and single men, should figure prominently in your CE ministry and especially in your youth ministry.
Given the pervasiveness of the need, every men’s ministry in the country should have an emphasis on ministry to fatherless boys.
By systematically approaching the individual needs of each of the widows in your church you should eventually be able to say, “There is no needy person among us.”
