Praise the Lord, who is my rock. He trains my hands for war and gives my fingers skill for battle. He is my loving ally and my fortress, my tower of safety, my rescuer. He is my shield, and I take refuge in him. He makes the nations submit to me. —Psalm 144:1-2

One Man Encourages Others in Men’s Ministry

From John P.

“I just finished the most wonderful experience. I went to a men's retreat at Cedar Lake conference grounds in Indiana .” At the conference John gave out Man in the Mirror resources, including over 75 Fourth Seed magazines, 10 No Man Left Behind books, and told them about www.disciplemen.com.

“Who knows what God is going to do, but I am really going to enjoy the journey,” says John. “The stakes are high and the time is short. Most of these men wanted to make a difference for God's kingdom. They just need some help. I am so excited to see Him working in so many lives. Pray that I will have great wisdom to know what to do next and to get these men everything they need.”

Peace for Born-Again Tweens

In a recent finding by Barna Research, born again Christian “tweens” (young people between childhood and teenage years) were much more likely than non-born again tweens to possess an upbeat life perspective and experience. They were more likely than the other two-thirds of others their age to find it easy to speak with parents about their life and to choose morality over popularity among other things.
