The Man Issue

Summer 2014


How you decide to unpack Jesus’ discipleship model in your ministry environment is, of course, entirely up to you as the pastor. With that in mind, we designed this issue of Enrichment not only to reignite a passion in you to reach men for Jesus and disciple them to be the champion believers for whom Christ died, but to offer you creative and empowering ideas to accomplish the task. We trust you will earnestly consider the contents of this issue as you continue working to create a church-wide strategy to reach men, young and old, for Christ.
