WHY THE NEED TO REACH MEN?

 

For every 10 men in the average church.......

8 will not find their jobs satisfying or rewarding

6 will struggle with excessive debt

5 have a major problem with pornography

4 will get divorced affecting 1,000,000 children each year

Only 1 will have a biblical worldview

All 10 will struggle to balance family & work 

------------------------------------------------

If you take virtually every problem in America today, at the root of it you will find the failure of a man (e.g. 93% of prisoners are male and 85% of these come from fatherless homes). Today there are approximately 98,000,000 men in America, 63,000,000 of which don't know Christ. Only 8,000,000 of these are active in discipleship. This would be the equivalent of 12 guys playing on a football team and only 1 of them knowing how to play football.

Want your church to grow? Then bring in the men

 

Did you know that if a child is the first person in a household to become a Christian, there is a 3.5 percent probability everyone else in the household will follow? If the mother is the first to become a Christian, there is a 17 percent probability everyone else in the household will follow. But if the father is first, there is a 93 percent probability everyone else in the household will follow.

I doubt that comes as a great surprise to most people, we don't have to have statistics to tell us this is true. There is something in the hard-wiring of creation that naturally causes wives and children to look to husbands and fathers to lead. However, the statistics above shout the importance of churches becoming more intentional in their development of ministries for men. If you reach the men, you reach the families, but to reach the men, you have to enter into their world.

You can lead this effort by identifying at least one man in your church committed to developing a men's ministry, and then communicate your needs to help provide training and resources to equip this leader and assist him in forming a core group of men for men's ministry. Having the pastor behind a men's ministry program is crucial, men will see it as important only if the pastor supports it.

The Purpose, Vision and Mission of the Central Georgia District Brotherhood

 

Our Purpose is:

Ultimately to see the souls of men saved and living for Christ in a newness of life. We desire to improve and strengthen the family by teaching, training, and equipping men for the role of leadership God has positioned them in.

Our Vision is:

To see men draw close to Jesus Christ and invite him into every aspect of their life. We will promote and encourage local fellowships to become more than a men’s “program” and develop into a men’s “ministry”. It’s our desire to seek God and His word for the spiritual nourishment needed to build strong moral character, while each man willingly submits himself to God and each other for personal accountability. Praying and desiring that our actions will Result in male’s becoming men and that by any means we may reach some for Christ.

 

Our Mission is:

To provide understanding of what a men’s ministry should be and the role it plays in the lives of men today. We will promote unity among men within the central Georgia area and create a dynamic change in the lives and families within our communities. Persuading men to step into, and thrive in, the role of leadership God has placed them in; we will teach them that the beginning of leadership is learning how to serve, God and others, in the beauty of holiness. Therefore, laying aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets us, we will run with patience the race that is before us, all for the glory of Christ Jesus our Lord and redeemer.
