A week of prayer dedicated to men's ministry has begun across Britain, as churches continue to see more females and than males come through their doors.
The week of prayer, spanning from 15-21 January, is being organised by the group We Are Men United.
It's ahead of an event at Stoke City Football Club on 27 May 2017, aimed at providing men with opportunities to worship, pray, receive teaching and bring non-Christian friends to hear about God.
Former boxer Nigel Benn, former professional footballer Linvoy Primus, US evangelist Andrew Palau and Martin Smith, formerly of the Christian rock band Delirious?, will be attending the Stoke City event.
Tearfund found in 2013 that almost two-thirds (65 per cent) of regular churchgoers in the UK are women.
Conversely, the same study found that men outnumber women by 54 per cent to 46 across the other main faiths within the UK.
