Wildmen Ministry

Join fellow Wildmen as we participate in the launch the all new men’s ministry of Grace Family Church, Courageous, with a Steak Dinner and a Special Speaker (Tony Dungy) on Tuesday, October 11th at 6:30 PM in the GFC Main Sanctuary. The cost is only $5 per guy!  No need to register, just show up!

They’ll be launching a 4-week Courageous Living Bible Study with topics such as: fighting for your family, valuing what matters most, impacting future generations, and standing for Christ.

Grace Family Church started with just one men’s ministry – Wildmen. They now have so much going on during the week, including Wildmen on Tuesdays, that they are launching a new umbrella ministry that will encompass all of their various men’s ministry initiatives. Way to go men of Grace Family!

It’s time for the Wildmen  Tailgate Party – Calvary Chapel Worship Center New Port Richey

Saturday 10/8 from 12:30pm until we’re done. Food, Food, and Food. Games and the Big Game. We are Wildmen. We are God’s army!

All Men Are Invited!

Here is a very brief look at what we experienced in the 66 hours of our 2011 Wildmen Boot Camp. Well done men!

Billy,

WoW, do I ever wish I could live in two places at one time. But there is no distance from heaven to our hearts, and there is no distance between our hearts. My affection for you and every brother I met is off the charts. I know that all of us will “never be the same” in an exceptional way! I know why Craig holds you in such high esteem. Keep on delivering the AMAZING grace you so powerfully taught at Boot Camp.

If there is any way I might encourage the guys there at any time, please let me know. Also be advised that I am available on the phone any time night or day and this is no idle promise. I serve my clients 24 x 7 and my brothers hold an even more important place in my heart than my clients. It is only, ever, always about relationships in right order, the job is just a way for God to convey manna into my part of the field.

I know that God is working in each of us to bring the peace that passes understanding and transcends all circumstances. All we have to do is to get the wax out of our ears and listen, then believe that since God is sovereign, He can do anything and since God is my perfect Father, He will only introduce the right things into my life to make me the best son ever. He loves me as much as He loves Jesus, so I intend to enjoy that and encourage everyone I meet to do the same.

Grace and peace to you in extreme abundance,

BoB

Tell the guys God’s wonderful mercy and grace was all over the Boot camp.  He revealed Himself to me in a new way.  I will share more next week.

You are loved much

Thank you for your dedication and leadership.  I enjoyed the teaching and witness at the boot camp.  My experience was more than anticipated and left me with several insights that are of significance to me.  Thanks!

I request you pass on to the the leadership team that a synopsis of the presentations be made and emailed to the participants so the experience will be enhanced and remembered accurately.

Peace in Christ JESUS!

Last weekend was truly a Godsend in many ways!  I must admit that when I arrived and saw the room full of 30-40 guys and the snoring that ensued that first night I was thinking “what have I gotten myself into?”  I must also tell you that I felt like a kid at summer camp that was upset his parents were picking him up the last day when I was leaving the chow camp Sunday after lunch.

Bootcamp did a lot for me.  I’ve had a pretty crappy couple of years that have involved a lot of shame and embarrassment.  I’ve been through a few months of Ironmen and heard all about the room of grace and have known that it was OK to talk to someone about my issues.  I never had the guts or want to really until last weekend.  It was good to finally be able to talk to a fellow christian and have a shoulder to lean on!  I must admit that I’m still a little hesitant and almost wish I wouldn’t of said anything in fears that he takes it out of the room of grace, but I think that’s just Satan playing more games.

On that note I wanted to let you know how this weekend helped my walk.  I’ve been a christian for a while and always known that there was the devil and his demons, but I never knew how active of a role they played.  I still don’t know how much power, influence and ability God lets Satan use, but now I know he is more than just out there.  It was good to know about his power, as the same day I was taught about his power he attacked me pretty hard.  I almost gave into it, but decided to trust God.  All worked out OK!  The movie from Louie Giglio (How Great is Our God Tour) was absolutely amazing.  I’ve already emailed it to a few christian friends and both of my unsaved parents hoping that will start a seed in them!

Bootcamp along with the gracewalk series has truly changed my life.  I had an unbelievably cruddy day on Monday (like bootcamp predicted) and I came home and reviewed my notes, and a couple videos we had watched that I was able to find, and after talking with God, it all went away.  We watched a video where an African American was playing the role of God talking to a Caucasian man.  I thought the video was probably called “God doesn’t make junk.”  I haven’t been able to find it anywhere and if you know what it’s called that would be great, if not no sweat.

I thank you so much for allowing God to do great things through you and be a blessing to so many men Billy!  I haven’t known you that long, but can truly say you are a mentor and someone to look up to.

Boot Camp rocked my world, I learned so much this weekend it will take awhile for it all to sink in good thing we have the journals to refer back to. I was blessed in a BIG way to meet this band of brothers. Boot camp has challenged me to step up as a husband, a father, and a man.

Thanks so much for everything.

PS could someone please post links to the videos we watched.
(Wildmen note: We will be posting more material, links and possibly even video clips of the speakers in the coming days and weeks. Keep coming back to the site. Even better, connect with us via Facebook or our Newsletter. That way you’ll stay up on happenings.)

Thanks,
Jeff Haffner

It was a pleasure spending time with all of the men this weekend.

I came there to share, but it was I who was filled as well. God showed up for me in a big way.

The question that was asked when we arrived was: “What do you want to hear from God this weekend?”. I asked him to teach me how to love my wife. He answered in a huge way.
