“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers” (3 John 1:2).

Good medical care is priceless—but wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t need doctors anymore? Well, did you know there is a proven way to put a lot of doctors out of work? … Take care of your body! Scientists have sounded the alarm about cholesterol, tobacco, stress, obesity, and alcohol, so why press your luck? God truly cares how you treat your body, and He’s given you a free health plan to go by—the Bible!

In Romans 15:2 (MSG), Paul admonishes his readers that “strength is for service, not status.” Without question…strong words that are so very much needed today!!
As we pursue excellence in servant leadership, we realize that models, methodologies and strategies in and of themselves fall woefully short if we are not walking in godly integrity, Christlike character, transparency & authenticity wrapped in humility.
So what does this really look like? How do we exemplify it before a watching world, before those that we serve in ministry and more importantly, at home before our families?
To help us embrace the topic of “The Heart Of A True Leader”, the Men of Faith Network is delighted to have Dr. Jeff Hubing and the Men of Faith Network President, Fredrick K Ezeji-Okoye as they share what God has downloaded into their hearts. Mark your calendar & join us. Yes, there is a word from the Lord!!!

Will Rogers was attributed to have said that “even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.” This was the essence of God’s conversation with Adam when He posed the question, “Adam, where are you?”. Not an issue of his physical proximity, God was inquiring about the posture of Adam’s heart. So it is with us!!
As we look to build upon the incredible ministry of our March Monthly Fellowship, the Men of Faith Network keep the momentum going as we are so honored to have Pastor John Hannah in the house as he addresses the very relevant issue of being “On Track” in our relationship with God.

One fellowship you don’t want to miss!

** Ignite the Fire, Sustain the Fire, Use the Fire
Passion: strong and barely controllable emotion.

What are you passionate about? What drives the things you do? Each of us is moved by desires, inspiration, and necessity. But what about the fire of God in us? How much of what we do is motivated by the plans and will of God? Our passion actually has power to fuel our works!

Join us March 24th to hear with Minister Rick Landry and Pastor Otis Burns will share with us. Monthly gatherings at MOFN are a great use of your time.

“If you can’t figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.” ~Bishop T.D. Jakes

See you Saturday, March 24th!

Sustaining The Flame

“But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and   in your love for us—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.”   2 Corinthians 8:7

We invite you to join our monthly meeting, the theme is Sustaining the Flame.

We have been called by God the Father to take part in the mission of advancing the Kingdom of Jesus Christ worldwide by providing equipping in cooperating with the Holy Spirit.

According to Jesus, who is calling us to join Him in this work, being filled with the Holy Spirit is the essential condition for us to effectively take part as friends and co-workers with God in building the Kingdom of God.

Your faith is not for you alone; it’s meant to be shared with others.  But if you don’t have a fire in your soul that burns with passion for God’s purposes, you’ll lack the power to proclaim the Gospel as He calls you to do. 

Has your faith dwindled down to the embers of complacency or apathy when you encounter lost people?  If so, it’s time to ignite a fresh fire in your soul.  Here’s how:

Expect God to use your ordinary life in extraordinary ways.  Realize that you don’t need to depend on your own limited strength to reach lost people for Christ.  All God asks is that you open yourself up to receive His Holy Spirit and follow where He leads you.  When you do, the Spirit will empower you to share your faith in ways that will draw people to Christ.  Rest assured that God will use your efforts to share the Gospel despite your own faults.  You’ll become a powerful force once the Holy Spirit burns inside your soul.

As we close the year strong, the Men of Faith Network extend a personal invitation to you to join us for our final meeting of 2017.
PLEASE NOTE: **** THE DECEMBER 2017 FELLOWSHIP TAKES PLACE ON DECEMBER 16TH (THIS COMING SATURDAY) AND NOT ON OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED 4TH SATURDAY OF THE MONTH**** 
Please spread the word…pass the word. Invite a friend…bring a friend!! But above all bring your “expectation”…

Theme:  Power of Mentoring.
