Separating the MEN from the boys…“MAN“istry

There is such a difference between being in China and now being in Baan Ton Manuang, Thailand. In China I was freezing and now in Thailand I’m sweating to death…not to mention the humidity which makes it a lot worse! But none the less, I am excited about this month and looking forward to hanging out with just the men on our squad! My teammate, Will, couldn’t have said it better in the following paragraphs concerning this…

   

               “This is a month where the men leave the women behind to pursue a month on their own. It is    

We will pour into one-another, challenge one another, break one another, and build one another up. We will dig into the WORD, and bow down in prayer in hopes to find who GOD says we are. This is a month bound to be a month with more than just planting cassava, belching and farting. It has to be a month with more! We want more. We want more love, more knowledge, more depth, more of HIM, and more of who GOD says we are.

 So, who are we? What is a Man of GOD? We have been saying for the last 10 months that we are “men of GOD”, but what does that mean? What is a man of GOD? Who GOD says we are is different for each of us, walking as a man of GOD might look different for each of the 21 of us, but we are all men of GOD and we are called to be something! We are all in a walk. We are all in different places and may not fill this yet, but we are all called to rise up as men of GOD. We will strive for success and push ourselves to become the men that we are called to be.”

So, the question this month for us men is…

“what is a MAN of GOD?“

And the answer to this question is…

A “Man of GOD” is:

Sincere, honest, and doesn’t hide his flaws.

Holy, set apart, different from the world.

Contrite, filled with remorse for the wrongs he’s committed.

A provider, one that satisfies the need both physically and spiritually for those around him.

A supporter, one who lifts up or holds up his family and his friends.

A rock, a firm foundation that people can count on. He is sturdy, and unbreakable…devoted & committed.

Not controlled by fear.

A teacher and a student.

Confident.

Bold to pursue.

Willing to admit pride and walk in humbleness.

Full of integrity…His “yes” is “yes” and his “no” is “no”.

Servant.

These are just some of the qualities of what a man of GOD is and looks like. And I’m sure there are many other qualities to go along with these, but these are what GOD has been teaching me this month. I eagerly desire to become the man of GOD that HE desires me to be and I believe HE has started me on the right path to become the man of GOD that HE desires me to be!
