There is a new ministry in the Forrest and it is called BROTHER 2 BROTHER. It is a ministry to men designed to provide a time for men of the congregation to bond and build up one another. We started with 25 men and have had two meeting as of the date of this post. The men vary in age from 63 to about 27 years old. We are currently meeting twice a month on the second and fourth Thursday at 7:00 PM. We had such a great time during the first meeting that the session stretched into about two hours. I gave everyone the option of leaving after about an hour and fifteen minutes but the men were enjoying each other's company so much that no one was in a hurry to leave.
We have adopted a purpose statement which is as follows: The Woodlawn Forrest Brother 2 Brother Ministry is a Christ-centered ministry dedicated to equipping, empowering and deploying men in Christian service to their family, church, community, and the world. We plan to use a book entitle "WHAT MEN MUST DO" written by Dr. Larry Jones of Charlotte NC as a tool to stimulate discussion on topics that are hot-button issues for men. Topics such as: "Living Without Respect". Dr. Jones is a Medical doctor and Christian father and husband. We look forward to having Dr. Jones come and share his enthusiasm, insights and great wisdom with us in person. We also intend to use local speakers to address other issues such as men's health concerns and financial literacy. If you are a brother interested in being the best you can be we would like to connect you with other brothers so we can relate Brother--2--Brother.
