Blowing Rock Men’s Training Camp 2019

“Building Christian Men”

Why

Why a “Men’s Training Camp?”

We live in a time of crisis for men in our society. But there are ways to fight the demise of the Godly role of men in the family, community and society. The best mechanism is to have Godly fathers and male role models in the church. We can also offer education in sermons, Bible Study topics and Spokesman’s Club. But a concentrated, focused “Spiritual Training Camp” is another mechanism that is a real help for our men. The purpose of this weekend activity is threefold.

  1. To gather men together with other men to build bonds of brotherhood, building and deepening friendships. Men need to know and respect other men in the church. That takes time and face to face contact.
  2. We need to continue to learn together how to be better and sharper tools in God’s hands. In other words, this weekend is a time of “continuing, concentrated education.”
  3. We need to worship God together. We need to do this. We face a society that is hostile to God. The challenges and temptations create a minefield for us and we, together, need to beseech God for His help to navigate this spiritual minefield.

This type of weekend is meant to be a “spiritual bootcamp” for all men. It is not necessarily designed to be a “leadership training” weekend.  All men in the congregation are encouraged to get involved – even if they don’t consider themselves leaders.  Our goal with this program is to focus the attention of all of our men on becoming better husbands, fathers and Christians.  This is the foundation upon which leadership is built.

  • Casual clothes for Friday evening, Sabbath evening, Sunday.
  • For the Sabbath, attire should be “Sabbath wear” – coat and tie.

I just got an email from the management of Blowing Rock Conference Center offering us to use the regular “hotel-style” rooms instead of the dormitory lodging – without any additional cost. That should make things a bit more comfortable for everyone. A rooming request form will come out this morning…jmc
