Man2Man

In many surveys it becomes clear that the majority of men that come to faith in Jesus do so not through a large rally like a Billy Graham crusade but through men investing in their lives. Man2Man is an opportunity to do that.

The monthly breakfasts and dinners provide an opportunity to invite a non-connected man to a social event to have a good meal and friendship. The evening meal on the first Monday of each month remains strictly social while the breakfasts include a guest speaker that talks of his life and the change Jesus has made in him.

When Paul recounts his conversion in the book of Acts in what we like to call a testimony, the talks of his life before his encounter with Christ, the encounter, and his life afterwards. He also mentions the men that invested in his life. We too have that opportunity through weekly bible study and encourage one-on-one discipleship. Currently there is a men’s study 6:30 – 7:30 Tuesday mornings at the Maltings with plans to start others at other times and places during the week to reach more men with in-depth study of the word.

In March there is a weekend away that gives 50-60 men the chance for extended training, relaxation, and a chance to get to know each other. The setting is the picturesque St. Rhadagunds retreat center on the Isle of Wight.

The goal is to fulfill the commission Paul gave to Timothy: “These things you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to reliable men who will be able to teach others also. (2Ti 2:2)
