THE FALL OF MEN Investor Brief 2023
THE FALL OF MEN
Men are failing. They continue to disengage at an alarming rate and are not stepping up to be the men that God designed them to be. This is causing a massive crack in the foundation of our society. TODAY’S MEN: •
Men account for over 75% of all suicides.
•
Over 90% of all inmates are men.
•
Men are twice as likely to be addicted to drugs and alcohol.
•
36% of children do not live with their fathers and 43% of men aged 18 - 34 are still living at home.
•
51% of young adult men are “not looking for a relationship”, and only 50% of men are married.
•
In 2025, 2 women for every 1 man will graduate from college.
TODAY’S FAITH: •
As many as 90% of the boys who are being raised in church will abandon it by their 20th birthday. Many of these boys will never return.
•
75% of church volunteers are women.
•
6% of the U.S. population has a biblical worldview (15 million people) .
•
Only about 10% of churches have a men’s ministry.
TODAY’S CBMC: •
Baby boomers, who are statistically set to retire over the next 10 years, far outnumber younger generations within our ministry.
•
We must engage an entirely new generation of men, while at the same time, encourage our CBMC veterans to stay on mission.
•
To house all our digital tools, we are utilizing an aging technology platform that is fast approaching the end of its life.
I N O N
IT’S NOW OR NEVER! Men in the marketplace are failing and the world’s response is to pile shame on them for not measuring up at work, home, and in their communities. What we know is that the gospel message is the real. It is only antidote to this epidemic among men. They need Jesus.
CBMC is resolved to fight for the men of the marketplace, trusting God for more. More men connected to Jesus and more engaged in discipleship will result in our country being transformed by God. Since 1930, CBMC has carried the distinction as the largest marketplace ministry in the United States and the world. But this is empty if Jesus is not breathing into everything we do. As we look forward, we want God to activate men like never before, calling them to step into faith and become God’s instruments in their businesses, their homes, and their churches.
THE CALL OF MEN
In this 2023 Investor Brief, you will see a snapshot of God at work, through CBMC, impacting men, their families, their businesses and their communities. We are witnessing something remarkable and hopeful. We praise God for the progress and growth, and we thank you for committing your time, treasure, and talents to this mission. Let’s commit ourselves to helping men discover their calling, reversing trends of isolation, godlessness, and irrelevance. Will you join us? God is calling.

HERE WE GROW As CBMC positions itself to grow and expand, we seek to raise resources that directly apply to our 10 year vision for growth—One million men connected and 100k businessmen engaged in evangelism and discipleship by 12/31/2030. So how are we going to get there? We believe it begins with investment. CBMC must…
•
Invest in new technology – Our current technology upgrades will position CBMC to reach mobile first, digitally native younger generations.
•
Invest in business leaders – CBMC has a proven process for developing businessmen, who multiply their spiritual impact in the marketplace.
•
Invest in the next generation –We are focusing on biblically sound strategies that reach the next generation. They are our future!
•
Keep the current generation in the field – Retirement does not exist in the Bible. Wise and experienced men, grounded in their faith are key to raising up more men, empowered by the gospel.
KEEPING PACE UPGRADING OUR TECHNOLOGY – NOW OR NEVER In a fast paced, ever-changing digital landscape, CBMC vows to stay ahead. We are proceeding forward, developing a “mobile-first” approach to delivering evangelism and discipleship tools to the world. We are taking CBMC’s proven tools and designing them for accessibility when it comes to Millennials, Gen Z, and the world! Funding this goal will result in… •
The upgrade of CBMC’s digital delivery of evangelism and discipleship tools.
•
A new CBMC national website and scalable multi-site structure to support local ministry.
•
What it will cost — $945,000
Some say we are one generation away from being a completely secular society. With God leading the way, we say...
NOT ON OUR WATCH. Please join CBMC in the effort to make the message of Christ accessible and relevant to future generations now entering the marketplace, and to exponentially multiply Christian leaders, godly employees, and God’s love around the globe.
“I’ve been praying for a way to engage with other Christians, but just haven’t found a good outlet since my church had to shut its doors after Covid.” It’s been tough for Christians to connect in their daily lives with like-minded believers. CBMC has the people, the legacy, and the tools to connect, but our technology platform needs to be revamped. That’s were you come in. Your involvement is a direct answer to prayer.
