As a Brotherhood, we cannot be everything that "society" may want us to be. Simply put, we are "fishers of men". Our seven ministries give us areas of focus, but our ministry mission is to bring men and youth closer to Christ. Here's the good news: If we get men right, then we get families right. If we get families right, then we get churches right. If we get the church right, then God will change the world. TOGETHER, that is when we will win. It takes men to help men be better men for their families and themselves. |

Our Brotherhood logo states, “Prayer, Study, Service”. While we we do a good job with the first two, especially during pandemic shutdowns, we may not be doing as well in the “Service” category. To continue to grow, we need to recruit new and young men, and as we’ve heard, they are more interested in service opportunities rather than simply prayer and study. Share with us stories (and pictures) of some of your service projects!

A message from
Br. Conrad Jones
Brothers,
My sincerest thank you to all who have responded to my recent letter asking for a special donation to help us during our 2021 revenue challenge. Your outpouring of generosity has been a blessing and a testament to your faithful giving. Many have taken the opportunity to catch up on their past annual pledges, others freely giving additional support.
“Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”— 2 Corinthians 9:7
