24 Hrs of Paul

Sometimes days don't always work out the way we expect. Boxing Day '06 was a bit like that. My wife Lynette wrote this amusing ( well amusing for everyone but me!) outline of the day. Read more

Men Are Wanting to Join Groups Like Yours

One of the most common questions that we are asked by men is
“where is the nearest men’s group that I can join, what do they do
and when do they meet?”.

We would receive on average between three and five of these
requests per week. These requests come from across the country
from small isolated places through to the larger cities. We have
referred these men to men’s groups we know about but our desire
has always been to have a comprehensive list of Men’s Ministries
on our website for men to refer to.

We will have now launched a new part of the Promise Keepers
website listing various men’s groups across the country which we
can refer these men to.

If you have a men’s group/s operating in your
church. Simply by putting details of what your Men’s Ministry is
doing onto this web form you can be part of this exciting new initiative.
This will publicise your men’s ministry and allow men to contact you
and to attend your men’s events.

We believe this is possibly one of the most useful and exciting
developments to grow men’s ministry across the nation that we have
seen in the last five years.

Reflections on 2006

2006 has been an extraordinary year for us at Promise Keepers. We thank God for His power and His presence. Here are some of the highlights:

1. Easily the most common comment for the 2006 Unleashed Events has been that they were the most impacting and powerful of any of the Events that we have held over the last thirteen years.

2. A large number of first-time commitments and recommitments have been made and many life-changing decisions committed to. The challenge now is to see those decisions processed in the context of the local church and ordinary guys transformed into extraordinary men of God.

3. To assist with this, National Coaching Co-ordinator Dean Comerford has been appointed this year as a huge step of faith. We continue to develop and refine resources that will ensure Ministry with Men in the local church is effective, inspirational, impacting and life-changing.
As each man within this ministry uses the guidelines of the Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper to live his life, he will impact all those around him.

Looking Forward to 2007…

Planning is already well underway for 2007… In the meantime, have a well-earned break over the Christmas period, always remembering the reason for the season… We live to fulfil God’s purpose here on earth.

Blessings,
Paul
