Indo HEROES!

Summit with 50 influential leaders from across Indonesia - Papua, E. Timor, Surabaya, Bandung and key areas across the nation - many of these men have endured terrible persecution, they have been beaten, had members of their churches killed, churches burned down - some are in the government, some are top military leaders - and all are on fire for God.
We strategized the men's movement across the nation and into the other nations of Asia...and they are on the move! Pastor Eddy Leo's leadership has empowered hundreds of men - these men are the vanguard, the key leaders.
It was a humbling experience to spend time with them... we ministered on the "Spirit of a Father" - using the relationship of Jesse and David as a centerpoint - it led to a powerful time of prayer as Pastor Eddy and myself anointed each of the men to have the 'spirit of a father' for their region. It was amazing.
These men are modern day heroes, they have not backed down in the face of terrible and difficult obstacles...they truly are like the men of the early church - men who have been with Jesus.
Houston event is this week - then to Uganda to do men's events and to document the miracle of the decrease of AIDS.
Doug Stringer had dynamic meetings in Brazil while I was in Indo - Robert Barriger's (Lima) son was married - Karl Barancik's (Fenton,Michigan) son also - Michael Murphy (Australia) training for the New York marathon(pray) - Darko and Cathy Culjak (Newcastle) just had baby 2, Joseph! Darko was man who founded Hillsong church in Kiev and first who took Maximized Manhood across Russia - stuff happening everywhere...let me know what's going on in your world!

Stir up the faith!

WOW - INDONESIA!

Amazing event last night in Jakarta... past five days have been stunning...huge...
Last night over 4000 jammed into a central conference center in Jakarta - 500 men were graduated from Maximized Manhood studies - over 60 people saved - it was amazing!
The CMN team here led by Pastor Eddy Leo and the key national director Budi Jonatan and his team are amazing...they are conducting over 200 mens camps this year alone - and going into 8 other nations...!!

THE PHOTO OF THE TRUCK - we were on our way back to the hotel around 11pm after the event, many men were there from the military and we drove up behind one - when the light went red, I jumped out, gave them all high5's and we all yelled together for God in the middle of the night, in an army truck in Jakarta! Wow - how cool is that?!

More stuff later, headed to plane to go to India for a day.
You need to come to Indonesia...it will stimulate you and pump you up!

Praise God! Amen!

INDONESIA! Saved Men - lost luggage!

What a rush! - my first CMN men's camp in Indonesia! Over 500 men jammed the conference center starting at 9am this morning - sessions by Eddy Leo on "Moses and the Ten Suggestions" and "Five Deadly Sins" were awesome - men repenting, crying, getting things right - these guys here will do over 200 encounters like this in 2008 alone! Over 100,000 men have been discipled through Maximized Manhood in past 5 years...it is awesome, amazing, stunning...and extremely effective...

Got in yesterday, no luggage, bought toothbrush, underwear, they gave me a CMN shirt and we went to work! Met with CMN national leadership last evening, what a tremendous group of leaders...top men in the nation...this place is rockin'!
I am so impressed with what they have done in just the past 8 years... started with 6 men - now thousands every week across the nation - over 40 men's centers in the nation - AND THIS IS A MUSLIM NATION! They have had pastors, workers and church members killed by jihadists in just the past 24 months...

More stuff tomorrow... sorry havent posted in a bit... busy..many strategy sessions for the men's movement with men from around the world... things are happening!

Hope Church is great - strong men raising their level - it's good, very good. Some of the best men in the world.
My granddaughter Reese is simply the sparkle in God's eyes...she is spectacular!
Love my wife. Love my kids. Love my church.

Keep it crankin'!
