With over 30 million fatherless children in America, Paul’s vision is to see 10 million men and their families raised and become mentors representing a Godly Father Figure to these children. In support of this vision, the former Mayor of Sanford Florida, The Honorable Jeff Triplet, and the former President of Promise Keepers, Dr. Raleigh Washington, echoed the urgent need. During a press conference in 2013, they joined Paul in sharing the need for mentors for the fatherless youth in inner cities across the nation.
