8. MALACHI DADS PLEDGE As a Malachi Dad, I solemnly pledge to glorify God and build His kingdom by prioritizing the raising of godly children, first in my family, then in the influencing of other men to do the same in theirs. I firmly believe that my transformed life in Christ — my life of integrity, pursuit of this vision, and the pursuit of godly character — will allow me to impact my children, family and others towards this end.

9. MALACHI DADS PLEDGE I will practice a life of daily discipline and dependence on God through prayer and the study of God’s Word for the wisdom in how to “nurture my children in the admonition of the Lord.” I will pursue this endeavor for a lifetime whether my children are in my home or not. Finally, I believe that my end goal is not only for my children to walk in the Lord but this God-given vision would impact multiple generations to come. So help me God.
