FIELD STAFF SPEAKS OUT SUCCESSFUL MINISTRY TO MEN What Does It Take? In just a sentence or two, what are some important attributes of a successful ministry to men? 32 Persistent intentionality and diligence. —Tim Smith, Alabama I think the most important thing is a combination of a leader who cares about his people and who is authentic. If I say I am for you, I need to show it. Guys know when you are slinging bull! —Jamison Brown, Colorado Strong relationships. —Ronn Read, Illinois Successful men’s ministry involves guiding and leading men as fierce individuals who maintain commitments toward families and one another. Ministry practices include lifting burdens, reinforcing interpersonal responsibility and being able to go in “the cave” when men entrap themselves to pull a brother to safety. —David Ruhman, Missouri A focus on the primary ministry in the home. The women and children have to be respected and honored in the process. If they feel neglected, they can begin to see the ministry to men as an enemy. If you lose them, you will lose the men. —Travis Harrison, South Carolina A strong and compelling vision to reach and disciple all the men of their church and community. —Dave Armstrong, Pennsylvania Effective ministry is not an activity, but a commitment to build stronger disciples, husbands, fathers, brothers and engaged citizenship in the church and the community. —David Ruhman, Missouri A compelling, unshakable and deeplyseated commitment to following Jesus as a disciple who makes disciples thru the power of the Holy Spirit and becoming Christ-like in the process. —Larry Niggli, Idaho Pastor support and a strong leadership team who takes the time to pray and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. The Leadership Team should be the example of a Life on Life Discipleship small group they want the rest of the men in the church to experience. —Damon Hawkins, Florida A strong men’s leader whether staff or volunteer with vision and commitment to the process. Of course, Senior Pastor support. —Bob Ryan, Arkansas
