Submitted by Lancaster County Bible Church in Manheim, PA. "This is our first Men's Fraternity event. Here's what our guys are saying about it: 'Wow, Awesome, Life Changing, and Meaningful.' We also have a couple of local Disc Jockeys at a Christian radio station who have been describing on air how much they have been already changed by the series. 'Just being at these sessions feeling the energy and attentiveness at 0600 is a testimony in itself.'"

"We had the recommended '25th week' on Saturday April 8th from 8 am to 10 am and 70 men received a certificate for completing their manhood plan. (Another 10 had completed their plan, but missed the ceremony.) We also had 100 family members in attendance, which made for a significant celebration ceremony. We had coffee mugs emblazened with a crest that we created to commemorate the Quest. I have attached a short article from our newsletter, Maranatha Life, with the highlights from the ceremony. (We also made a DVD of the ceremony, if someone wanted to see how we ran it.)"

Our Men's Fraternity™ is averaging 133 men. We are ecstatic about what is taking place! Sometimes it is frightening to find yourself in the midst of a God thing. We have some men who drive 60 miles to attend.

Thanks for sending us the Men's Fraternity™ material on DVD. We have just started it tonight. We are stationed in the Middle East...I cannot tell you where, but I can say this: We have baboons, hyenas, and the devil sends people here to acclimate them for hell! We ask for your prayers for all our service members here as we face new and challenging issues each day. God has a plan and we are trying to convince ourselves that we are in it. Some days it's hard.

We have seen a significant number of men commit to meeting and examining their lives in light of Jesus and eternity. We have seen men's lives and marriages deeply impacted through the Biblical truths presented and the relationships formed within our 2 Men's Fraternity groups.
The photo is of a Great Adventure break-out group that held it's own weekend retreat to discuss our Manhood Plans. It was a mountain top experience for everyone there.

| The Quest for Authentic Manhood has been phenomenal success with our Men's Ministry. The attendance at our meetings has increased five times over. The feedback we are receiving from the men reassures us that this is much-needed information!

We kicked off Men's Fraternity™ with over 350 men. We averaged over 300 men for the entire first semester and saw 10 un-churched men accept Christ. Our men have recognized the wounds they have in their life and we are seeing them grieve for the lost men around them.

Please let everyone know how much we appreciate the Men's Fraternity curriculum. it's causing a lot of change in our church. We have three separate groups of men at various stages of the Men's Fraternity curriculum. I just had the first class graduation ceremony last night...It was special.

Men's Fraternity hits men where they are more than anything I have ever seen in a biblical curriculum. It is more than a Bible Study; it is a process that enunciates what men have been feeling for years, but not talked about.
