Greetings Brothers,

Most of you receiving this newsletter are still in the planning mode for the fall regarding men’s ministry. If you’re a leader, you're looking for programs and activities that men will say yes to. If you’re a participant, you’re thinking about what activity or small group is valuable enough to give your time to. This month’s Building Momentum may help you answer some of these questions. Pastors and leaders have several opportunities to get equipped to disciple their men in the Northeast. Discipling Men’s Hearts, an eight hour seminar about helping men change the core affections of their heart, will be held at Mechanicsburg Brethren in Christ In Mechanicsburg, PA on July 21. "No Man Left Behind" is coming to Lincoln Park, NJ on October 4-6. How about hosting a Great Dads seminar? It is a four hour seminar that requires just 25 men to host and has a six week follow up program included. Although I’m down in Florida, I’ve come up north several times to facilitate this seminar and would be happy to come.

Take a look at upcoming events and articles below as you make your fall plans. You are the best.

Your servant in Christ, Bob Keiderling

For the Men in Your City: No Man Left Behind Conference

The Leadership Training Center has just wrapped up its most recent No Man Left Behind Conference in Orlando, FL. One leader from Ruskin, Florida, said:

“I had been praying for a way to help the men in my church to open up and desire to take part in our ministries. When the pastor of another church

invited me to the conference, I just said yes because he said the Lord put it on his heart. This conference was totally what I've been praying for! That just blew me away!”

The next opportunity to come to the Orlando training for access to all of our speakers, including Patrick Morley, will be September 20-22, 2007!

You may also join us in Pennsylvania, Dallas, Houston, and other cities around the country! Register now!

For the Fathers in Your Church: How to be a Great Dad

Dr. Bob Hamrin, founder and president of Great Dads, says, “I believe the most important quality for fathers and leaders is easy – simply “follow Jesus.” Read more of what Dr. Hamrin says about fathering in the July/August issue of The Fourth Seed.

What do dads across America say is the greatest obstacle they face in being a Great Dad to their children?

Great Dads asked that question to 21,000 dads who have attended their seminars. The top obstacle is time. Visit the website to read the rest.
