The purpose
of the Glad Tidings Men in Ministry Neighborhood Groups is fellowship, discipleship, evangelism, and ministry and
worship this separates the groups from affinity groups or ministry groups. The groups
are intentionally Spirit-Led. The groups are following Biblical Principles from
Acts 2:42 "They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to
fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." The Glad Tidings
Men's Small Groups are also in the vision of our Pastor.
The groups
are in the will of God and the vision of our Pastor. The expectation is the
results would be enormous. The results are hugely significant. Men's lives are
changing. Something we hear all the time. So what if we did all this work and
there was not any evidence of changed lives. Lives would have still been changed.
Why would I say that? God's Word
never comes back empty. Isaiah 55:11 "so is my word that goes out from my
mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and
achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
I can talk
about men who are now engaged with the Word and Prayer for the first time
in their lives. A man, who has gone from living for the world has entered an
intense Christian intern program. Men who never participate, in any Men inMinistry activities are opening up to become consistent contributors in these
meetings. Men, who are invisible on Sunday and Wednesday but are actively
participating in the meetings. All of these men have a lot to contribute; we
just needed to provide a comfortable forum.
The city of
San Francisco is changing because men are meeting, to fellowship, study the
Word, worship and pray together. Based on Isaiah 55:11 if seventy men gather
each week to obey God what will happen. The results do not have limits because
God does not have limits. Here, also the men are demonstrating the love of
Jesus through the love they have for one and other.
Jesus
worked in small groups He had 12 Apostles. He had thousands of followers at one
point He fed 5,000 men not counting the women and children another He fed 7,000.
Jesus could have operated with a huge number of people. Jesus knew that He
would be effective operating with a small group. Look at the results:
Christianity. After the day of Pentecost Peter, being led by the Spirit, spoke
and 3,000 were added to their number. Look at the results of being Spirit
Led.
The Glad
Tidings Men in Ministry small group meetings are Spirit Led, Bible study,
fellowship, and prayer and worship meetings. Can we even imagine the results
that God will produce from these meetings?
San
Francisco belongs to the Lord it is the light which will lead the world in
the great revival.
Whenever I
think is all the work worth it, God reminds me that He died for every one of of
us. Even if, there were only one of us, He would have died for the salvation of
that person. One man changed from these meetings produces massive results.
