We Need Your Help!
Dear Friend,
As we near the end of the year we humbly ask you to consider financially supporting Blueprint for Men. Our families, our churches, our communities, and our world needs better men. And, our mission at Blueprint for Men is to build better men by the true Blueprint… Jesus Christ. Together we can make a greater impact in 2024.
This ministry can’t exist without the generosity of a few good men… and women like you! For those of you who have supported this ministry over the years we can’t thank you enough. For others of you, who have been powerfully impacted by this ministry, but haven’t contributed yet, we ask that you join the ranks of supporters and pay it forward so that other men can join us.
A gift of any size matters. Consider this…
If everyone recieving this email donated just $10 PER MONTH we would have enough money to fund this entire ministry!
Would you be willing to be a new $10/month donor starting this month? It would not only bless this ministry but it would bless many men and I bet it would even be a blessing to you as well. Of course we need the larger gifts so please don’t be limited to $10!
Please take a few minutes to watch my video message below. It will challenge your thinking about giving in God’s kingdom because, in God’s kingdom, we can be certain that you can’t outgive the Lord. And there’s always more coming to replace what you give away. It’s a promise!
A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Proverbs 11:25
In closing, I would ask you to prayerfully consider supporting the work of this ministry as we wrap-up 2023 and build a stronger ministry in 2024. Thank you in advance for your support!

MINISTRY OVERVIEW
Men’s Discipleship Mountain
Here at Blueprint for Men we embrace the call of the mountain; the call to join with other men to become like Jesus. Every aspect of this ministry is a call to join with other men in the climb! And our 2023 Annual Report is framed around Jesus call to every man.
Men’s Ministry Funnel
The men’s ministry funnel shown below gives an expanded view of how men’s ministry works. Our ministry is devoted to helping men move from isolation and brokenness into healthy community and wholeness. This pathway is the discipleship journey Jesus designed for every man. From resources to events to small groups, everything we do fits somewhere in this men’s ministry funnel.

WHAT MEN ARE SAYING…
A New Brotherhood…
“Blueprint For Men opened the door to what it was like to be in a brotherhood. I always craved mentorship and connection with other men on a group level, I have always been too private and prideful to do much about it.”
~ Young Adult Leader, late 20’s
A Saved Marriage…
“My marriage was in crisis due to sexual impurity. The crisis and God eventually led to me finding these groups.Now, my marriage and sex life are fantastic. I enjoy my role as a father and discipling and raising my kids. Life saved!”
~ Restored Husband and Father, mid 40’s
A Transformed Spiritual Life…
“It’s hard to fully describe what Blueprint for Men has meant to me and done for me. It has been a vehicle to transform my spiritual life, it has provided resources to be a better mens ministry leader”
~ Small Group Leader in his 50’s
