WashDC - Dulles area Men's Event Cranked!

WOW - what an amazing group of guys at Arlie Whitlow's dynamic church Community Church in Ashburn, Virginia - (Dulles area of Washington DC) - we had an incredible day - 12 men renewed or first time committed their lives to Christ! These were strong men - mature men - it was awesome!



Pastor Arlie and his son Pastor Charlie Whitlow - with Josh holding down the creative/music stuff are building a strong men's movement in the Dulles Virginia area - we'll meet again next year to commission some of his key guys - it will be AMAZING!

REally great to see Doug Clark -and had Lt. Col. Rob Hrabak (ret) give his customary "GET FIRED UP!" segment - it was great!

Came out of this day just buzzing - and what was equally great is there's a 'FiveGuys' hamburger place in the Dulles airport - wow, that was a blessing!

We are in an powerful season of the men's movement - I will post two testimonies tomorrow - from military leaders seeing spectacular results in their regiments... one is in Afghanistan - it's awesome!

WHEN is the right time to launch your men's ministry? IF you're in the Northern Hemisphere - START RIGHT NOW. Start in the middle of the summer - get it going with a few guys - then launch it in Sept to the entire church/group = If you're in Southern Hemisphere - START NOW!

will also post this week event we just did in Savannah area - amazing group -

The Men's Movement

Brandon sent me a link that was on the Ragmuffin site - it shows in detail the birth and exponential explosion of a movement... the pioneers, the early adopters, the large group of joiners in the middle of the curve, and the excitement generated by one guy who was willing to stand out - speak out, act out - what he believed in with enough passion, it pulled everyone else in...

The guy who started it was not trying to start a movement - but, the next guys in had a bit of an idea - they begin to wave to others.. motion..
It starts with you personal passion - infect others - then, get them to bring others - if you are trying to start it, and invite it wont grow - if you are trying to control it, it wont grow -

WE MUST MINISTER WITH OPEN HANDS - LET GOD TAKE THIS MOVEMENT OF MEN AROUND THE WORLD - AND, WHETHER WE CAN DANCE OR NOT - GET UP AND DANCE... BECAUSE, NO ONE CARES IF YOU CAN DANCE... ARE YOU PASSIONATE ENOUGH TO GET UP AND DO IT!? AND, KEEP GOING EVEN WHEN IT DOESNT YET LOOK SUCCESSFUL?!


PASSION OVER PERFECTION.

Keep dancin.
