My Dad and I are "Buds".After 60 Years!
Date: 1/30/2006

On Tuesday, March 15, I went to University Baptist Church near Houston, Texas and attended my first Men's Fraternity meeting. Dr. Robert Lewis was speaking at the instructional workshop that morning on "What Men Need and How the Church Can Help". During his presentation he spoke about his relationship with his dad and how difficult it had been. I really related to what he was speaking about. My own father never told me he loved me or hugged me. I could never please him or "measure up" to his expectations. As I was listening, I felt like someone had just punched me in the stomach. What Dr. Lewis was sharing was exactly my relationship with my dad, who is now 94-years-old and in a nursing home, and I just didn't want to "go there".

Men's Fraternity ALASKA

Out on the edge of the earth, in the Aleutian islands of Alaska, you will find Dutch Harbor/Unalaska (two names but one town), the number one fishing port in America. Known as the last frontier, millions of pounds of fish are loaded and unloaded commercially each year, and the fishermen have maintained a reputation for being ruff and wild, necessary traits as crabbing in the Bearing Sea has been considered the most dangerous job in America. In the midst of this life on the edge, in a town full of "extremes"-extreme location, extreme weather, and an extremely dangerous industry-stands Unalaska Christian Fellowship, a small church with 180 in attendance.

MEN'S FRATERNITY WORKSHOPS
Date: 8/30/2005

Since its conception in Little Rock, Arkansas in the late 1980's, Men's Fraternity continues to forge out its niche among today's leading men's ministry curriculums. With rapid growth and increasing popularity come new needs, including thorough and hands-on training that will enable leaders to effectively "win" with their men using the curriculum.
The first of these training opportunities took place in 2001 at the annual Irresistible Influence (i2) Church Conference held at Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock (Men's Fraternity's "home church"). It was so well attended that the following year it became a 3-hour, pre-conference session with more than 200 pastors attending. The news of the workshop spread and requests for regional workshops began to pour in.

Men's Fraternity Down Under
Date: 8/30/2004

Although most men in the United States are perhaps all too familiar with the nature and symbolism of a "fraternity", for men in Australia it is not a well-known term. Yet, no matter what the geographic area, the heart of Men's Fraternity remains the same. Its message cuts at the core of men all around the world as Craig Porter and his "Aussie blokes" have discovered.
This Australian ministry team kept the Men's Fraternity curriculum intact but gave it a new name: Mates and Mentors. Like its U.S. counterpart, Mates and Mentors is a call for Australian men to "step up to the starting line" and face the truth of what it means to be a man.
