But you dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God's love. — Jude 1:20-21

Director’s Report


Dr. Jim Guth
Executive Director

To whom much is given, much is required. God has called FMI to support local churches in the State of Florida in their ministries for men. FMI has faithfully done this by providing information, training and resources to local church and denominational leaders for the past 10 years. During 2007 FMI stepped out in faith by hosting three Iron Sharpens Iron Conferences in Florida in an effort to provide additional support to local churches in building their ministries for men. We are glad that we did. As a result of these conferences, many men have been encouraged and equipped to be godly husbands, fathers and men of integrity in their home, workplace and
community. Marriages have been restored and some saved. In early 2008 FMI will host two Iron Sharpens Iron Conferences.

Information about these conferences is available online at www.IronSharpensIron.net and www.floridamenofintegrity.org.

We need your help! Will you help us? Today we need additional financial support in order to fulfill our current obligations and reach our goals for 2008. The costs of gas, ministry supplies and support services have all increased during 2007. Without some additional financial support FMI will have to trim our budget and services in 2008 at a time when God has just opened additional doors for FMI in ministry. Help us to make an eternal impact on the lives of men in Florida by providing a year-end gift to FMI. It would be a gift of love.

If you are willing to provide a gift by check, please make the check payable to FMI and mail it to:

FMI, 4223 NW 32nd Street, Gainesville, FL 32605-1412. If you would prefer to provide a gift by credit card, you may do so by clicking here or calling the FMI office at (352) 371-6682 with your credit card information. If no one is in the office to answer the phone when you call, please leave a message as to how we may get back to you soon thereafter. Be assured that FMI keeps integrity and confidentiality in all matters, including financial matters.

Thank you in advance for praying about a gift to FMI. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful, blessed Christmas and holiday season!

Florida Men of Integrity Rolls Out New Leadership Training

In partnership with Man in the Mirror Ministries, Florida Men of Integrity is pleased to announce a leadership training series available immediately to men's ministries throughout Florida!

Twenty years of ministry experience and research inspired the creation of “Reaching Every Man—Introducing A Strategy to Leave No Man Behind” . Based on the book “No Man Left Behind” by Patrick Morley, David Delk and Brett Clemmer, this dynamic, encouraging training will help inspire your men to:

  • Create, capture and sustain momentum among men
  • Connect every ministry effort into one compelling vision
  • Consistently provide men with a credible next step
  • Maximize current efforts reaching men before creating new ones
  • Implement a strategy that God can use to change men, marriages, families and communities

This half-day training session results in a paradigm shift about how we “do” ministry to and through our men. The curriculum is similar to the one taught at the 2 ½-day Man in the Mirror Leadership Training Center in Orlando, Florida, only condensed to be more affordable, convenient and accessible to men's leaders, pastors, aspiring men's leaders and men who are passionate about investing in the Spiritual lives of men.

Reaching Every Man provides leaders with an introduction to the ‘No Man Left Behind' model of leadership and exposes them to the concept of developing a ministry to men which focuses on maximizing what is already being done for the men in their congregations. At the conclusion of each of four sessions is breakout time for the men's ministry teams to begin the process of intentionally building their ministry to men using the concepts taught in during Reaching Every Man.

The cost is only $39 per man for arguably one of the most effective men's leadership training program ever developed. The seminar can be completed on a Saturday morning at your church, or consider hosting a community-wide event for the churches in your area. Requirements for the seminar vary by location within Florida , but little more than some tables and a Power Point projector are all that is needed to launch the seminar. All resource material, including the Reaching Every Man planning notebook, are provided by Florida Men of Integrity.

Perhaps the best part of Reaching Every Man is that the men leave with a game plan, which can be implemented immediately with their men.

To learn more about Reaching Every Man, or to schedule one at your church, please contact David Dusek with Florida Men of Integrity at 941.544.4799 or e-mail at daviddusek@floridamenofintegrity.org or visit www.reachingeveryman.com.
