A Vessel for Honor Men’s Conference
II Timothy 2:21
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
“In the last days perilous times shall come…” (II Tim. 3:1.) Men are experiencing growing pressures and temptations in today’s world. A national men’s ministry reports that for every 10 men in the average church…
- 9 will have kids who leave the church
- 8 will not find their jobs satisfying
- 6 will pay monthly minimum on credit cards
- 5 have a major problem with pornography
- 4 will get divorced affecting 1,000,000 children each year
- Only 1 will have a biblical worldview
- All 10 will struggle to balance family & work
In addition…
- 108,000,000 men 15 or older (est. 2003)
- 66,000,000 men don’t know Christ
- Only 6,000,000 men in discipleship
- 72,000,000 children under 18. Tonight, 33% of them will go to bed in a home without a biological father
- 40% of first marriages end in divorce affecting 1,000,000 children each year
- 33% of all children are born out of wedlock
These symptoms point to a cause which deeply impacts families. Man has found inadequate ways to meet our deepest needs. Only by reconnecting to God ordained relationships can we hope to be able to rise over the life quenching pressures of the world.
Conference Topics
- Understanding the Needs of Your Wife.
- Using Our Wounds to Bless Others.
- Experiencing Personal Growth.
- Understanding God’s Design for Relationships.
The training is designed to address the deepest needs men have. Come prepared to receive and to give in the training process.
