Authentic Manhood Alive & Well In Southern California

Dane Johnson with Christ's Church of the Valley in San Demas, CA has just completed leading a large group of men through the 3rd installment of Men's Fraternity.  Dane's next step?  Challenging these men to reach out to other men in their communities when they begin The Quest again.  Congratulations to Dane and his men for taking responsibilty to now reach out and lead others courageously up the mountain of manhood!

"Men's Fraternity has been the most effective tool for reaching and growing men in Christ I have ever used as a Pastor for over 33 years. The response of our men was so overwhelming. We were amazed that not only did they start the journey in Men's Fraternity, but they finished strong as well."

-Dr. David Uth, First Baptist Orlando

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.'"

Paul Chapman, a member of Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock, shares about his "faith journey" and how Men's Fraternity played an integral part in bringing him to Christ. Taking the call to manhood a step further, Paul is now leading Men's Fraternity in a local Arkansas prison.

Matt's charge provides the winning kick in a life long desire to learn more about being an authentic man.

Men's Fraternity is sponsored by Men Alive! at Grace Community Church in Columbia, MD.

"Wow - what an adventure! After more than a year of meeting, planning and praying - and multiple sessions with Rick Caldwell, we relaunched our Men's Fraternity with great success.  We have over 250 men who participate in this great process of understanding what it means to be a MAN.  We are seeing an awesome hunger in our men to meet each week to hear profound truths and then process that information with a small group, which brings accountability and challenge to the process.  We are looking forward to God doing great things this semester in the lives of our men and in our community as they reach out to others!"
