Yes, it’s a guy thing.
What happens when the Men of Integrity get together for a breakfast of beans, chili, coffee, and deserts (otherwise known as a balanced meal)?
They decide it’s time to minister to children. That’s what happens.
They become men on a mission
The Men of Integrity voted to help support the food ministry by making a donation to the Thanksgiving and Christmas basket ministries.
They also committed to buying 100 pairs of shoes by Christmas as part of the Life Today Christmas Shoe Project. The Men of Integrity put up the seed money-$108- for the first 30 pair of shoes and are asking the men of this community to contribute another $275 in the next 45 days.
While anyone may contribute, this challenge is specifically put before the men of our community. It has been a while since the men in the Burns Flat, Canute, Dill City, and Foss areas have been challenged to work together in a project of giving and mercy.
Here it is.
To reach the 100 shoe goal, only 60 men need contribute $5 each.
Only 30 men need c contribute $10 each.
Only 15 men need contribute $20 each.
One man could donate $300.
Or all of the above could happen and the men of this community could bless many, many children.
Look around your community. It seems that most of the ministry in western Oklahoma is done by women. This is a wonderful thing, but we men need to step up to our leadership roles and among them are giving and mercy.
Stop by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and talk to Tom Spence about how you can help. Contact Rick Ellis to learn more about this ministry.
Get out of the deer stand, pull away from the football game, and stop complaining about how tough things are around here and do something for someone who has next to nothing.
The next meeting of the Men of Integrity is 9:00 am on 26 November 2011. That’s the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Only a few days prior to this in a flurry of activity, food baskets will be given out to needy families.
It may seem a little difficult to pull away from those turkey sandwiches and endless football, but make a special effort to make it to this meeting.
- Bring your Bible
- Bring $5
- Bring a friend
- Bring a special offering to help buy 100 pairs of shoes
Stop by and see Tom Spence or Rick Ellis before the November meeting and make see what a difference ten bucks will make.
Enjoy the feeling of being men on a mission.
Be blessed and be a blessing!
