SIX REASONS men attend a Promise Keepers Conference

WORSHIP: PK music engages the heart of a man in a corporate setting with thousands of other men, and creates a unique, often life-changing experience. (Imagine singing with over 10,000 other men; It makes for a pretty amazing choir!)

FELLOWSHIP: The unified purpose and aligned attitudes of men at PK events tends to amplify the experience of the Holy Spirit. Men are spiritually and personally refreshed by participating with a multitude of men.

SPEAKERS: Men need to be challenged, convicted, and encouraged to strive to reach the next level of holiness. PK’s national authors, leaders and speakers address guys directly, with exceptional candor, personal insight and enthusiasm. (You'll get excellent insights on authentic manhood and practical tips on how to live it out.)

EVANGELISM: PK offers men the rare opportunity to bring their sons, family, friends and co-workers to a “non-church,” non-threatening environment where they can hear the Gospel Message in a masculine context.

CONNECTIVITY: An innate desire in all of us is to belong to a cause that is bigger than ourselves. PK offers men the opportunity to become part of the greater work of God though the men’s movement.

EXPERIENCE: The challenge to set aside the time to go, (fellowship while traveling to and from the conference), the magnitude of the event, and the support of wives create a catalytic experience, a milestone and life’s journey for the men that has a remarkable and lasting impact.

News from Promise Keepers

I spent last Friday and Saturday at Camp Kaleo near Forsyth, Georgia with Hal Taylor, the Eastern Regional Filed Director for Promise Keepers and some of the other Ambassador Field Directors and Ambassadors from Georgia.

I have two very important important pieces of information to pass on to you:

1. It's official. Atlanta will have a 2008 Promise Keepers Conference on August 1-2. Details about times and speakers will be forthcoming but registration is now available on the PK web site -- www.promisekeepers.org.

2. As Promise Keepers continues to expand its field ministry, Georgia is about to be the first state in the country to fill the position of State Field Director. Our soon to be official Director is Glen Wise from Warner-Robins. Glen has been serving as an Ambassador Field Director (AFD) for that area. State Directors and AFDs will soon be added to the PK website to make it easier for churches and men to contact the PK volunteers nearest to them.

Columbia Promise Keeper Conference follow-up

This past Friday and Saturday's (August 3 & 4) Promise Keepers Conference in Columbia, South Carolina was great!

Over 200 men accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior!

Over 100 men rededicated themselves to the Lord.

Many thanks to my good friend from PTC UMC, Bruce Conard, for driving to and form the event!

Let's go to Columbia!

Sorry to be so long between postings. I had a pretty busy weekend this past weekend. Highlights included the Men's Encounter on Saturday and Hartford United Methodist Church's 138th Anniversary and New Hope South's Pulse on Sunday. I have been busy this week trying to get the word out via e-mails about a couple of church events coming up this weekend. If you would like find out about events at churches other than your own, please send me an e-mail. Similarly, if your church has an event to which you would like to invite men and women from other churches, let me know, also.


I have also been visiting more churches this week distributing promotional material for the upcoming Promise Keepers 2007 Conference. If you haven't done so already, click on the U-tube link to the right to get preview of this year's PK Conference. Many men from this area are headed to Columbia, SC on August 3-4. Specific information about the Columbia conference, including the line-up of speakers, is available at http://www.promisekeepers.org/conferences/columbia-sc. Ticketing is available at http://www.promisekeepers.org/ or by calling (866) PROMISE. Group discounts are available when you order 10 or more tickets.



If you have never been to a Promise Keepers Conference, I can assure you that you will be glad you made the decision to go. Do whatever it takes to be there! You will be blessed by the worship and the messages, both delivered in a distinctly male context that speaks directly to the heart of a man!



If you have been to a Conference before, I challenge you to take someone who has never been. I encourage you to organize a group of men from your church and join us in Columbia. Perhaps you could partner with other churches in your area and go together. Attending conferences in cities away Atlanta provide great opportunities for fellowship with the men in your group and since you are away from the distractions of home, you can bask in the experience.



Other Conferences within driving distance of Atlanta are:



Mobile, AL June 29-30



Nashville, TN July 20-21



Orlando, FL July 27-28



Take advantage of this opportunity to grow as a man of integrity!
