Men of Faith - Kickoff Night

Wow! About 160 men attended last nights kickoff of the Men of Faith ministry. Bill Butters was our speaker for the night.

Men of Faith purpose is to Connect Men with God . . . Connect Men with Each Other. We got off to a great start on both aspects of the purpose. Bill Butters gave an excellent testimony which covered both aspects of our purpose. Bill clearly is a gifted evangelist and his testimony points men to Jesus Christ. In addition he weaves in aspect of life that are real to men. For instance he spoke on how his father was not a part of his life from the age of 4 except for wanting free tickets to Bill hockey games at the U of Minnesota and his NHL career. He also spoke of not knowing the roles and responsibilities of a husband and father. Bill shared many of his struggles in life.

I think that every man last night could relate to some part of Bill's testimony. I know the table that I sat every man talked about what Bill had said.

Men of Faith will meet on the 3rd Sunday of every month. Our next meeting is Sunday May 21 at 6:30. See here or here for further information on Men of Faith.
