East Africa Going Strong!

Just receiving new reports from Uganda and the team...men headed into Kenya and Rwanda - over 200 leaders in Maximized Manhood monthly training classes... tremendous impact. Thank you to all who helped make this trip happen, my Pastor Phil Pringle, Rusty Greer, Mike Bower, our friends in Finland, friends in Indonesia and many others! Thank you! The impact is huge and ongoing.
These are photos of meeting with the Prime Minister of Uganda, who came to the Saturday men's event, and a shot of over 300 pastors praying for the men who were at one of the events in Kampala.
Plan on going with us again next year to Uganda for tremendous meetings across the nation - it will be sometime end of August next year - most likely around the U.S. labor day holiday.
great stuff!

MEXICO

Pastors meeting in Juarez last night - mens event tonight!
Tremendous time with key leaders, imparting the vision of reaching their city - shared Hombria al Maximo (Maximized Manhood) and gave copy of book to each man- it really hit strong... we have been coming to Juarez for years bringing shoes to the poorest children every Thanksgiving (U.S. holiday in November).
It has been a high impact outreach for our church (Hopechurch.tv) and very important to churches here - every church we brought shoes to last year added people during the outreach - one man told me that 8 families joined the church due to the shoe outreach - this year we hope to take 1500 pairs of shoes to the children!
Now the doors are open to bringing the men's movement - amen! John Paul Infante is speaking at the men's event tonight - he'll do great! I'm back to Dallas - JohnPaul was just in Colombia ministering last week - heard from Giullermo Aguayo, he was there last month - awesome - Pastor John Arana is in Guanajuato next week - let me know what you're up to! Alex Mitala and team of men are headed to Kenya next month - I am in events in U.S. - headed to Europe and South America in October/November!
Stay in touch!

Focus on the goal - stay in motion!

Uganda - photos

Here is one photo of the amazing event Saturday in Kampala - men from across the nation, and what was tremendous, over 300 pastors were at this event - of course, many didn't bring their men, they were "checking out" what this men's movement thing really was...and then the constant comment was..."I should have brought our men" So, next year they will!

More reports soon from Amsterdam...let's keep the momentum going around the globe!

stay healthy

Amazing Results Uganda!

Over 400 pastors, thousands of men, 5 amazing days of ministry - the Saturday LionsRoar event was attended by the Prime Minister, covered by national news, GREAT MOMENTUM!
And, to top it off - 31 Men Commissioned!

The CMN team is now planning regional institutes for leaders and pastors, going into Kenya in the Fall, and a great series of events next year! There is a great sense of breakthrough - what so many men have labored toward for 20 years is now going to the next level! Next year will be larger, covered on national television and it is underway...Praise God!

Alex Mitala, William Sempa and all the team have done a tremendous job bringing the men's movement to this place, and what they told me today, is that is was all worthwhile!

AT the event Saturday, hundreds of pastors attended and at one point they were all up praying for the men,,, it became a deeply moving extended time of worship, praise, prayer, changes, things shifting in Uganda, it was amazing.

Much more to report - soon...load some photos when I get to Amsterdam - too slow here in jungle.

Uganda - Child Soldiers

Tremendous results in Uganda, I'll be posting over the next few days...men's movement having dramatic effect.

Deeply moving trip to Gulu in Northern Uganda, 12 hours of grueling travel by Land Rover -

I met two young men - tragic victims - abducted and forced to be child soldiers for the insurgents in Darfur and Northern Uganda - One young man is typical story - he was 12 years old, at his school of 100 students, surrounded by 300 rebel soldiers, 30 children were killed on the spot, then 20 taken one direction, while he and 50 others were taken to Southern Sudan - severely beaten, watching friends killed in front of them, unspeakable horrors...he became in charge of a radio team, he was subjected to repeated brutalities until he escaped after 6 years of hell...
TODAY, he is being trained at Alex Mitala's school in Gulu, and on his way to wholeness and health...it will be a long road, as I talked to him, it was difficult for him to look me in the eyes, he had nerve damage in his face, he is pushing through by the grace of God - Praise God!

He did look at me near the end of our conversation and said, "At least now, I have hope."

This is what it's about - Uganda is a nation in need of fathers, the spirit of love and acceptance - and it is a nation that is in healing - a vibrant church life, christian tv, the men's movement...but, a long road to health.

More soon...keep in prayer.

will post photos when I get to faster internet location -

Houston EVENT!!

Wow, what an amazing event in Houston last week... Doug Stringer is a dynamic leader, Rueben Torres is heading up MaxMan Houston and they are taking the city. Pastor Rusty Greer hosted the event, over 40 other churches and pastors participated, it was great - we had many men saved, Pastor Bob Phillips headed up a tremendous slate of speakers...

We commissioned over 30 men! Speaking about the need for fathers, we ministered for results and they were tremendous - men found healing from father wounds, set their lives straight and hundreds of men left the event charged up to create a men's movement across southern Texas - and they will do it. There is so much more to report, so, call Rueben!

Testimony after testimony spoke of the power of God changing the hearts of men - Steve Trevino and other great leaders in Houston have been leading hundreds of men through the curriculum, and the stories of lives changed are amazing - wow, what a thrill to see what the happens when the hearts of men are transformed.

We are not about INFORMATION, but TRANSFORMATION! The mens movement is not about bringing more information but REVELATION, THAT BRINGS TRANSFORMATION, THAT PRODUCES REVOLUTION! amen.

fight, never quit.
