Upcoming Events: While at www.lutheranmeninmission.org be sure to check out the “events” tab. One Year to Live is the most life changing men’s event we have seen and there are retreats scheduled for Wisconsin, Colorado, Nebraska, South Carolina and Minnesota in the weeks and months to come. Building Men for Christ is a one day workshop for church staff and leaders (male and female) designed to assist leaders in more effectively engaging men in the congregation. A training is scheduled this fall for the greater Madison, WI area. Please continue to check out our website for events that will be added.
Video Bible Study: Our friends at Lutheran Hour Ministries/Men’s Network have produced a 30 minute video Bible study featuring NASCAR legend and broadcaster Ned Jarrett. Ned is active with Lutheran Men in Mission in North Carolina and was a speaker at our 2005 Lutheran Men’s Gathering. This video is a part of the Beyond the Spotlight series and is accompanied by a Bible study for groups. You can download the video and Bible study at http://www.lhmmen.com/studydetail.asp?id=18435
Pray! This ministry continues to grow and bring men closer to Christ because there are many on their knees praying for renewal and revival among men. Included in that number is the two hundred or so of us that come together each week electronically with Men of Prayer . This prayer reminder is sent out the first part of each week and includes the scripture for the next Sunday, some questions to consider regarding that scripture and prayers for our leadership and spiritual renewal among men. If you would like to be added to the Men of Prayer list please let me know at doug.haugen@elca.org
- Our vision: That every man have a deeper relationship with
- Jesus Christ through an effective men’s ministry in every congregation.
