Promise Keepers Unfortunately the Promise Keepers organization decided to cancel some of the cities it had planned on hosting their fantastic event in 2007. As a result, the LCC men did not attend. The Promise Keeper schedule for 2008 appears to be similar, so instead we will be attending the Iron Sharpens Iron conference in Albany (see above).
Check back for more information about future Promise Keeper events, or other events we may attend (or host) in the future.
In the meantime, go to the Promise Keeper website (http://www.promisekeepers .org) and take some time to look at pictures from our 2006 trip on the 'Photos' page.
Iron Sharpens Iron
Twenty-three men went to the Iron Sharpens Iron conference in Latham, NY on April 5th, travelling in a five vehicle caravan the evening of the 4th. Dinner and a good night's sleep at a local hotel finished the day before awakening fresh for the conference on Saturday. NMIC purchased the entire conference audio CDs that are available for you to borrow. Click this link for a list of sessions.
For the second straight year, the men of Lakeshore Community Church experienced God's love during 24 hours at LeTourneau Christian Center
Last year's number of 38 men grew to 57 men this year. What an incredible turnout and experience. A great time was had by all and we left renewed in our faith by the Holy Spirit. 'No Regrets' was the theme of this retreat - and every person had the opportunity to share what they don't regret and pray for each other for things we do have regrets about. Men ministering to men to glorify God.
Special thanks to Mario Cash, Dana Henderson, Tom Saluzzo, Mike Fragassi and many others for their efforts. Thanks and praise as well to the ownership and staff of LeTourneau for hosting our event, and for providing us with all we need -- especially delicious meals. We're already looking forward to repeating the event in 2009.
