Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative / Testimony

MFI TESTIMONIES

Mr. Ray,
I would like to take this time to thank you for allowing God to use you in such an awesome way. I need these services in my life to know I am not alone. I learned so much in a very short time at the seminars that I need something like this every 3-6 months for knowledge and understanding about how to be a father to my children.

I have 4 children and only two that I've been able to reach. I have one son and he doesn't even have my last name. This hurts so much. I need to learn how to reach him. Please help me to become a whole man.

God Bless you Mr. Terence Ray and I pray for support.

Thank you.
Terry D. Hilliard

Terence-

We met on yesterday's Continental flight. I checked out your organization’s website. What a great program you have developed in Milwaukee to meet a need in Milwaukee and other communities. I was not aware of such a program. The government and community backing you have is inspiring. I really believe in your mission statement and hope that you can bring this program to other communities, like Cleveland.

Keep up the great work.

"The absence of fathers in the home is a major problem of today's society. Terence Ray and the Milwaukee Fatherhood initiative provide a key element to the solution. The goal is to increase the number of involved, responsible and committed fathers in the lives of children. Terence Ray is immanently qualified for the task as he is a dedicated professional. I know Terence as a colleague, a father and a friend. I believe in his methodology of channeling men's self-concept and self-esteem into positive familial outcomes."

"Healthy relationships are the bedrock of healthy communities. Foremost is the family relationship. With characteristic ambition, you have channeled your dynamic energy into a program that will dedicate its existence to strengthening the father/child relationship. This program will equip fathers to connect with their children with insight, preparation and commitment. The participants will undoubtedly emerge as fathers by choice and parents by design. I wholeheartedly support your efforts."

"I have known Terence Ray for a number of years now. As a former Staff Assistant to Congressman Tom Barrett, he has established himself as one of our community's shining lights. What makes hi accomplishments more memorable is what he had to overcome to get there. I know he has a great deal to offer men who have experienced similar circumstances. I totally support the goals and mission of the Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative."
