Success Means Having a Plan to Disciple “All” Your Men

So help your leaders see that everything your church does that touches men is “ministry to men,” from the worship service to ushering to kitchen helper. An “all-inclusive ministry to men” disciples men right where they are. For example, you don’t need your male Sunday school teachers to join a separate ministry to men. Instead, have them gather 30 minutes early once a month to discuss “the challenges of being a male Sunday school teacher.”

Why is this so important? Anything less than a plan to disciple all your men is a moral failure of catastrophic proportion. We are not responsible for how men respond, but we are most certainly responsible to see that all of them have the opportunity to become disciples and disciple-makers.

Until every church disciples every man …
