It is Friday, April 25, and over 3,000 ladies are on their way to Olive for the sold out E-Woman’s Conference. I ask you to pray for this weekend event.

Next Friday several men will meet at Olive for the monthly men’s breakfast and Bible study. In our culture men have desperate needs. Think about this. According to Man in the Mirror Ministries for every ten men in our churches…

10 are struggling to balance work and family
 9 will have children who leave the church
 5 will have a serious problem with pornography
 4 will get divorced
 1- only 1 -has a Biblical worldview

The greatest thing the church could do for our ladies is to grow up a group of godly men. Conferences like the one this weekend are wonderful. We need them. But the pressing need of the hour for our women is for men to be in love with Jesus, know who they are in Christ and live out a Biblical faith.

Last Monday evening after outreach I dropped in on a high school boys’ Bible study at the home of one of our men’s ministry leaders. They had  been studying the Word and discussing some heavy issues facing high school male students. It was a joy to see them in a small group dealing with the tough issues. Young Christian men are being developed but we must do more. Just as I preached earlier this month,  we need a generation of young Hezekiahs (2 Kings 17) who will be committed to the Lord above all other rivals for attention in their lives, cling to Him and keep His commandments. I am hopeful about what I see going on. And all of it is not in a room where over 3,000 gather. God does some of His best work in a living room with 8-10 teenagers and a godly man leading them.

Men, who made a difference in your life for Christ and are you willing to make that kind of impact on another young man?
