Great men's event in tough area of Lima this morning... awesome results - had one man who received Christ that was over 60yrs. old - rare thing - Hope Church laid out a breakfast feast for the men, some went through the line twice and again after the event - they were blessed!
Over one hundred men packed into Pastor Victor's Camino De Vida campus church - it was tremendous - so proud of them pulling that together, and building a strong church with strong men - Lt. Col. Rob Hrabak (ret.) kicked it off a couple years ago in this area with a strong challenge to the men - they couldnt get any guys involved in the men's movement - well, Rob kicked their butts into gear and now, under the great leadership of Victor and the strong covering of Robert Barriger - men filled the church on a Saturday! And... they didnt even know they were getting fed! Now, that says something strong...
Rob was there with me today to see what God has done over the past few years... and young Camino De Vida evangelist Nick Balcombe brought a strong word to the fathers and sons... "If you don't involve your son in what you are doing, he will resent what you are involved in" Then, strong time of young men being prayed for and then, the young men prayed for the older men - it was explosive!
We graduated 15 men from the Valor (Courage) studies and after today, I believe the next group will be larger.. it was awesome...
The men's movement will change the world, not by the stadium event, but by the enduring, strong, patient fathering spirit of local pastors like Victor and Robert Barriger who are willing to work the process.
"You can create great crowds with great sermons, but you will never change a nation, until you disciple a man."
thanks for praying for CMN around the world - somewhere right now, and 24 hrs. a day, every day, some men are meeting to go to a new level as Maximized Men!
loveyou
thank you
paul
