That every man grow in his relationship with Jesus Christ through an effective men’s ministry in every congregation.

This is an invitation for you to join in prayer each week with men throughout the church at noon on Wednesday... or when you are able. We are praying for revival/renewal for men. This includes the men in your life, for the support of ministry with men churchwide.

Mark 1: 14-20: ¹⁴ After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. ¹⁵ “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” ¹⁶ As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. ¹⁷ “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” ¹⁸ At once they left their nets and followed him. ¹⁹ When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. ²⁰ Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.

Question(s) Where did you go the first time you decided to leave home? How did you feel? What is the “Good News”? Why did the disciples decide to follow Jesus? What is it about Jesus that makes you follow Him?

Men, once again the purpose of these weekly encounters is to pray for renewal, and revival in the church- beginning with men. Let us be relentless in our prayer that this ministry will be one that supports that renewal/revival among men.

PLEASE PRAY

Our prayer for all of us as leaders is that our spiritual vision would be so clear that we would see Jesus only (Matthew 17:8). To that end please pray for-

• Executive Director Doug Haugen, Administrative Assistant Kim Moseley, Young Men’s Ministry Specialist Kyle Pedersen.
• Dan Joy and our entire board as they lead our ministry.

• The men in your life and beyond- that they might come to a deeper relationship with Jesus.
• Building Men for Christ leadership training and One Year to Live retreats being planned in the months ahead.
• Our ministry through leadership development, Bible ministry, events and ministry with young men.
• Finally, please continue to pray for the financial support, so that this important ministry may continue to expand and grow.

On behalf of the leadership of Lutheran Men in Mission- thank you so much for your prayer support!
