More
about Promise Keepers
Promise
Keepers is dedicated to building and
enhancing our relationship to the
Living Savior, Jesus Christ. It
is committed to encouraging Christian
men to be faithful, loving, caring
husbands and fathers and to actively
support the ministry of the local
church. For me, Promise Keepers
has built a strong dependence and
reliance upon God and the Holy Spirit.
It also has given me the necessary
insights, spiritual perspectives, and
Biblical foundation for my (His)
ministry at Epiphany.
Who
is Promise Keepers for?
Promise
Keepers is for husbands, fathers,
grandfathers, single men, and youth
(high school and college). Dads,
it's great to attend and bring your
son(s) to Promise Keepers! Trust
me, they'll love it! In 1995, I
attended the conference in Minneapolis
with my dad and my oldest son, Jeff.
In 2002 and 2003, I attended with my
son, Ryan and my daughter's boyfriend,
Jason. We all had a great time
and were truly touched by the Lord.
I consider Promise Keepers a catalyst
to ministry for all men.
Why
I'm committed to Promise Keepers
Every
time I have attended Promise Keepers,
I have come back home a changed man.
My wife and my family see it. My
friends see it. The people that
I work with see it.
Our
faith is all about us abandoning our
old ways and becoming wholly dependent
upon Christ for wisdom, discernment,
direction for our lives, blessings of
our relationships with others, and the
provision of spiritual gifts for our
ministry to and for Him. Matthew
6:33 encourages us to seek first His
kingdom and His righteousness and He
will provide all other things to us.
 One
of the greatest blessings that I
received this year was to see the
faces of the men of Epiphany who
attended the conference. The
Holy Spirit used the music, the
speakers, and the total fellowship
experience to put us on a mountaintop.
Most of us attending have committed to
going again next year. Why?
Because we are committed to serving
Christ in our community, which is an
integral part of Epiphany's mission.
I
invite and challenge each man at
Epiphany, regardless of age, to attend
a Promise Keepers conference in the
next year and experience these things
for yourself.
Check
out schedules for this year and next
at www.promisekeepers.org.
You will only be blessed and filled
with the love of Christ.
In
His service,
Andy Addy
