outreach programs could we run, counseling 31 programs could we provide if we just keep discipling men to believe, lead their families and give generously the way the Bible calls them to? Would you like to see the “face” of men’s discipleship? It is the starving child. It is the refugee fleeing violence or the single mom with 3 kids in a homeless shelter. Make an Investment Many of you receiving this magazine are already investors in the ministry. You’re making an impact through your donation to the national ministry or one of our local field team members. Thank you! Can I ask you to consider making an additional investment this summer? If you’re a monthly giver, perhaps you could add an extra month’s donation. Or perhaps you have some money set aside you’ve been looking to invest in Kingdom work. This issue of the magazine was made possible by just such a man. He had set some money aside and wasn’t really sure what he would do with it. But a phone call from one of our board members prompted him to make a substantial contribution and completely underwrite the printing and postage of this issue! I’m inviting you to make a donation today to build more wells, sponsor more children and build more hospitals. Do it strategically by investing in discipling men to become generous, happy and faithful husbands and fathers. Go to mimdonate.org today and see the projects you can invest in to continue to build God’s Kingdom here and now, and store up treasures in heaven for the life to come. Thank you, Brett Clemmer, President family’s needs for love, provision and protection. Discipled men are better husbands and fathers. (Matthew 19; Ephesians 5:25, 26, 33; 6:4 ) Discipling a man affects his wallet. As a man’s heart softens and he sees things as God does, he will respond with generosity. As he understands stewardship and desires to store treasures in heaven, he will invest his earthly treasures into the Kingdom. Discipled men are generous men. (Matthew 6:19-20) Looking at how discipling a man affects his wallet, consider this very practical possibility: In 2016, our Field Team members interacted with over 3,000 churches, and engaged at a strategic level with 1,416 of those churches. That means we helped them at least begin to implement “No Man Left Behind Model” principles. Based on three different surveys church leaders we’ve worked with, we know that on average, 15 new disciples were made in each of those churches. That’s 21,240 new disciples in churches we worked with last year. Here’s where it gets fun (and a little “mathy”). The median household income in America is $51,939 per year (according to the 2014 Census Bureau report). Across those 21,240 new disciples, that’s a total household earning power of $1.103 billion. Is it reasonable to think that a new disciple would see that he needs to start giving to the church? So let’s be conservative. If the average new disciple in a “No Man Left Behind church” increases his giving by just 5% of his household income this year, the potential Kingdom financial impact of discipling 21,240 new men is $55,159,218. Not just once, but every year going forward! How many wells could we dig, children could we sponsor, hospitals could we build, y
