Two weeks ago my church had its first men's conference. A small group of guys have formed an ad-hoc committee and really run with men's ministry ideas, and they managed to put a big shindig together. Our speaker was Tom Hawkes, pastor of a PCA church in Charlotte, speaker at men's and leadrship conferences and brother of one of our elders. His address was really quite challenging, talking about Men and God, Men and other Men, and Men and Women. As you would expect, the latter was the most interesting, culminating in small group discussions and confession of sins. Interspesed with the teaching segments were small workshop/brainstorming groups focusing on various ideas for future ministry ideas such as a Habitat for Humanity project, marriage and family seminars, mentoring, and other things. I was amazed at how productive the whole event was. If you or your church has any interest in bringing in a speaker for men, I recommend pastor Hawkes very highly.
