Men of Impact’s Slogan:
God transforming men to impact this generation to set a new Godly standard!

1st Week- Kick off Rally
 Praise and Worship
 Share my personal testimony and how out of that God gave me the heart to disciple men
 Share message on the 5 things God showed me through my testimony
 Pass out Men of Impact folders and go through the curriculum in great detail

2nd Week- Importance of a daily Q.T. and our walk and growth with God
Purpose: Taught on 1st because of the foundational importance to our lives
 Importance of growing in God and our walk with Him.
 Importance of reading the Word and a life of prayer
 Importance of application of God’s Word in our lives

3rd Week- 7th Week (5 weeks): Focus on identifying and resolving areas that men can really struggle in.
Purpose: These areas are crucial for men to #1- Be aware of the importance of #2- Identify in our own lives #3- Resolve, grow, heal, and become stronger in #4- Experience a life of more freedom and greatness due to the growth and healing in these areas:
 Identify and resolve Bitterness
 Identify and resolve Pride
 Identify and resolve Moral Failure
 Identify and resolve Rebellion
 Teaching on the importance of a ‘Father’s Blessing’- There are a lot of hurts experienced from fathers due to a lack of love, instruction, protection, and so forth. Grown men hold onto these hurts for a lifetime and I want to communicate the great need and design that God intended for a man to play in the role as a husband and father. We will be learning that we can get this kind of love and healing from our Heavenly Father.

8th Week- Guarding against pornography and lust
Purpose: To communicate the utter destruction that pornography has on a man- this will absolutely shock you men! To give many statistics that show just how big pornography is and how much it is rooted in our world and daily lives and how we as men can keep this out of our lives and all the benefits of that.

9th Week- Teaching on the importance of understanding and knowing our unique and exciting Mission Statement in Life-
Purpose: God has an exciting and unique “Mission Statement” for each of us. Wikipedia defines ‘mission statement’ as a formal short written statement of the purpose of a company or organization. The mission statement should guide the actions of the organization, spell out its overall goal, provide a sense of direction, and guide decision-making. If every company has one that defines them and that gives them direction then how much more important is it for men to know and understand their mission statement?! How do we know where to go unless we know our destination? When you enter a physical address into your GPS then at that point, from where we are right now, we are then guided and directed where we turn first, then where we turn next, all heading us towards our final destination. We as men will understand and write out our own mission statement and frame it and keep it in a practical place where we can read it and have it be a daily reminder of what God has called us to do.

10th Week- Everyone read their Mission Statements that they came up with and us talk about them more.
Purpose: Take time going over this in more depth and helping guys write theirs out. Spend this 2nd week making sure men are understanding their mission statement and actually writing it out.

11th Week- Teaching on the character of a man- a Real Man. A Godly Man.
A major theme of Men of Impact is Real Men Fight! Real Men Fight for their marriages, Real Men Fight for their kids, Real Men Fight for their families, Real Men Fight to do what is right, Real Men Fight to make a difference in this world, and Real Men Fight to make a Godly impact in the lives of others. As we look at what Real Men are and what Real Men fight for we will be looking at the character behind these types of men. What kind of character defines this type of man?

12th Week- Teaching on the importance and purpose of different relationships in a man’s life-
This will include dating, marriage, parents, friendships, mentorships, and others. We will understand the important roles that each of these relationships plays in the lives of us men and understand better the purpose and goals from each of these relationships. As 1 example we will be discussing dating relationships and teaching men that the goal of dating is to connect emotionally and spiritually with a woman and to see if their hearts can be opened up to one another and see if God is leading them to marriage to become One for a purpose that God would have for them. Ladies if a man were to ask you out in here and you knew they were impacted in a way that I am describing today and they understood what the right goal in dating was and they treated you as gentleman- raise your hand if you would be more likely to date them?

13th Week- Putting everything together. Summarizing everything that we have learned.
Walking all this out in the real world and what that looks like. For example- now that we understand the importance of our mission statement and we know what ours is- how do you walk that out in your life- how do you enter into that? Real world application. The importance of follow through and the wise know how of applying everything we learned.

14th Week- Graduation week!
Men can speak and read, if they wish, their Mission Statement and how God impacted them during this time. Bring their family and friends to share in the experience. Nice time of praise and worship, refreshments available and round tables for everyone to sit at. Make it a nice environment of men completing something and celebrating what God did in them.

Conclusion:
Men have such crucial and awesome roles, that are so important, that God has entrusted to us. Roles as husbands, roles as fathers, roles as the spiritual leaders who will determine the direction and health of our families. That’s why it is imperative that men walk in freedom, that men boldly live for God, that men Fight to do what is right, and that men become true Men of Impact!

I want to see, I will see a new Godly standard established in men, marriages, the family, and in the home instead of this downward slope of marriages and families failing miserably. In order to see this it all starts with the men.

Imagine a world where men were impacted in this way?! It can happen through the life transforming power and love of the Holy Spirit. Men of Impact- God transforming men to impact this generation to set a new Godly standard.

We would love to see you Men, Thursday February 2nd!
