Is it Over Yet?! Journaling Challenge

A friend of mine asked me that yesterday.  I told him that we are more than half way there (today is day 22).   But we also talked about falling into the trap of journaling out of obligation...

Why Mapping your Private World can bring your soul into focus – Genesis 35:6-7

When I started journaling it was because I needed a “friend,” and I wasn’t doing well with the human kind. Read more here: http://nymensministry.com/2012/11/04/the-discipline-of-journaling/

Good Year for the Westchester Men's Ministry

The WMM had a good year in 2009. We hope to have a breakout year in 2010.

First a look back, in 2009 we...

• had over 10 events including a golf event, hiking, multiple breakfasts and our Christmas dinner.
• had our first breakfast with Grace Fellowship.
• had multiple new people join our small groups or attend one of our events.
• setup a blog, a Facebook group and a Twitter account. We have over 200 followers on Twitter and appear on 6 lists.
• had nearly 2 dozen men for our Christmas dinner, our largest group yet, including a few new people.
• just got started!

In 2010, we have big goals!

1. We feel God is calling us to prepare for the harvest -- so we plan to do leadership training
2. We also feel God wants us to "do" his Word as a group -- so we will be coordinating more outreach events.
3. We will have our first retreat in the early Spring of 2010 (watch for more details)!!
4. I believe we will have a small group of committed people step up in 2010 that will allow WMM to fulfill the role God intends for it. This may include 501c(3) status and a broader reach in Westchester county.
5. The spirit of the Westchester Men's Ministry is to be community based and support multiple churches. So my optimistic goal is to bring leaders from many churches together in 2010 to share our vision to bring hope to the hopeless and strengthen each other!

There are many people to thank for their support in 2009 including Dick Weidenheft, George Holladay, Peter Corfield and Fred Seiler among many others. Thank you guys!

We hope you have a very happy new year. Please pray that God will lead us and protect us because we can do all things through Him who strengthens us and conversely we can do nothing in our own power.
