March 26 Meeting

Teaching: Knowing Your Men

Summary: Every Man’s Challenge…We are primitive men living in a sophisticated world.

Men’s ministry is an effort to restore men back to the original Blueprint for Men which is simple and pure. This is a call to come out of confusion, all call to come out of Babylon. Men’s ministry is an essential message within the Three Angels Messages of Revelation.

Understanding your men’s specific challenges… ask questions about the following areas of life.

  1. A Man’s Needs and Desires
  2. A Man’s Pains
  3. A Man’s History
  4. A Man’s Daily Life
  5. A Man’s World View

As you get to know your men, you know their needs, and then you can call them to action is specific ways. It’s a challenge and a joy!
