Encouragement for Men

Let the words of these men’s ministry leaders encourage you to examine how your church reaches and ministers to men. Discipled, mature men of God are an incredible resource that every church and community needs!

“Programs come and go, but principles create lasting change. Ministry to Men must move beyond events to intentional investment. When we focus on who a man is becoming—not just what he’s attending—we transform lives. Leaders, build on truth, not trends because real change starts with principle driven discipleship."

Gordon Houston, 360Equip

 “Psalms 127:3-4 tells us that ‘children are a heritage from the Lord...arrows in the hand of a warrior...’ (NKJV) Your family is your legacy, let them know how important they are to you by Day! Writing letters may not be something you normally do, but that will make it all the more meaningful! Present your letter to them at the end of the Father's Day service or at dinner. Your letter will be a gift they will cherish for years to come!”

John Hensel, Pen Florida Men's Director

 “Ministry to Men is God’s plan and process to disciple men, and discipled men completely understand their Biblical role as husbands, fathers, and believers.”

Chuck Willis, Michigan Men's Director

 “Pastors, imagine what would happen in your church and community if every believing man and discipled, mature in his faith, and leading in his home. Your church would be spiritually blessed and unstoppable! Rally to your men, and they will rally to you.”

Rick Allen, National Men's Ministries Director

 “Ask yourself daily: what can I do now that my future self will thank me for? Maybe it's finishing that degree, staying active, playing with your kids, or taking your wife out on a date. The choices we make today shape the lives we live tomorrow. When we invest with spiritual intentionality, we don’t just survive—we thrive as men of God.”

Yisrael Vincent, Arizona Men's Director

 “A lot is riding on you and what you choose to do in future. Will you get serious about following Jesus closer? Will you seek greater maturity in Christ? Your family, your church, and your community need you to be strongly rooted and growing in your faith in Jesus. The alternative is simply unacceptable.”

Dan Kersten, National Men's Ministry Communications Director
