Hundreds of men from across Jackson Mississippi and surrounding cities - some from as far as Hattiesberg - seeking the presence of God and the power of the Holy Spirit - it was great - Pastor Dwayne Pickett and his mighty men started what they are calling now "The Gathering of Champions" !
It was electric as men committed to following Christ with a passion - let me tell you what will happen as they go hard after God - they will shock the nation - this is one of the poorest states in the nation - it has traditionally been filled with poverty, racial separation and a culture of 'this is the way it's always been' - BUT these men are going to shake it up! They are going to start a new culture of excellence, prosperity, harmony and strength - A NEW LEGACY IN MISSISSIPPI!
One of the most powerful moments of the day was as Pastor Pickett stood with his sons and nephew - stood in front of the men of his church and those visiting - and declared that from this day - when people ask - "Who will be the men who stand up for justice, against poverty and for righteousness?" - he said - "We will answer - WE ARE THE MEN!" It was awesome!
This is what the men's movement is all about!
This is the new thrust of reaching men around the world - one man at a time.
YOU CAN GET GREAT CROWDS WITH GREAT SERMONS - BUT YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE A NATION, UNTIL YOU DISCIPLE A MAN!
amen - stay at it strong - never quit - it's not where you are in the fight - it's how you finish - and, in Christ, you will finish it strong!
grace/peace
