Spiritual Renewal among Men

This week was the last meeting for a discipleship group that I have been leading for over a year.  Each time one of these groups ends, it is a sad time for me.  I have invested a night each week into the lives of these men and I count them as not only friends but fellow journeymen on the path of righteousness.  I have been sharpened as much as I have sharpened, and I have been loved as much as I have loved.  These men have been my accountability group and my prayer partners and not meeting with them each week will create a longing in my heart.

However, as the group ends, I know that the Lord has already begun to prepare my heart to invest in another group of people that he has already chosen.  I will soon join with another group for over a year and will be richly blessed by the journey the Lord will take us through together.  

I also know that the men that I have met with this past year were being prepared by God to disciple others, now they will embark on their new journeys as well.  What an exciting time in our church and community to see how the Lord will work through these men to change so many other lives.

The last three years have brought some great spiritual renewal among the men of FBC Harlingen. I am so excited about the beginning of the Rio Grande Valley IRONMEN.  This ministry will only serve to enhance the great work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the men of Harlingen and the valley.  So many men are ready to plug their lives into something that is filled with life-changing power and great potential.  I believe IRONMEN will be the beginning of just such a movement.

Pray for God to continue to move in the men of FBC Harlingen and the valley.  Pray for the Holy Spirit to move in the lives of the men involved in IRONMEN.
