The Early Years
“My pain became
my passion. My mess became my message.”
-Ron J. Clark Ron’s father was absent while growing up. Ron grew up in Public Housing. In high school, Ron was assigned an oral presentation for class. He was given, “The American Family” as his topic. His research drew him to the role of men in the family, something he’d never seen. He began to see the importance of an involved father and the curse that father absence brings on a family. His Christian Influence “Christ spoke to me louder than my surroundings.” -Ron J. Clark Ron experienced racism from classmates. Many in the African American community accused Ron of “trying to be white” because he was focused in school and staying out of trouble. Christians were the only group that accepted him unconditionally. Because of their ministry, he went from being “religious” to having a relationship with Christ. Education Background
