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!

For Your Marriage: Men and the Home

According to recent survey statistics, women in Australia spend more than twice as much time doing unpaid domestic chores as men.

And a new survey in America show that couples place a higher value on “sharing chores” than “raising kids” in terms of what makes a healthy marriage.

What do your men think of marriage? Do they have a biblical worldview? How are they doing balancing their work and family life? Encourage them to save some time, creativity, energy, and wisdom for their families.

Want practical help? Order Devotions for Couples for about $1 each to distribute to all your men.

Men to Gather at Washington Monument
For Once-Every-Decade Event
October 6, 2007

WASHINGTON, DC – The men of America are being invited to return to the grounds of the Washington Monument in Washington, DC, on October 6^th for a national gathering of men called Stand in the Gap 2007.

The emphasis of this event is to call generations of men together to honor God, hear from God, and to embolden each man to leave a legacy of spiritual leadership and faithfulness from one generation to the next. Psalm 145:4 captures the essence of the day: “One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts.”
