The North American Mission Board has begun the first-ever weekly men's missions education curriculum. BMEN Online, a weekly e-newsletter available free through email, was launched this month. Itincludes a missions focus article, a personal development article, weekly small-group accountability plans, urgent misions prayer requests, and monthly missions meeting plans. "This is another missions-learning environment that is truly new ground for us," said Jim Burton, team leaer for missions education at NAMB. "To our knowledge, a weekly men's missions resource has never been developed for Baptist men, much less delivered. We are excited about the resource and what it can mean for Baptist men."
Baptist Men on Mission (BMEN) are the men of the church taking seriously God's call to be the husbands, father, mentors, and churchmen He has charged them to be. Being a godly man is the foundation to being part of Baptist Men on Mission, because a godly man will be a godly husband, a godly father, and a godly mentor. To subscribe to BMEN Online visit www.bmen.net. Other new resources for mens mission involvement include:
Simultaneous Prayer Plan for Awakening, January 2009: A 31-day prayer plan for men designed to awaken the hearts of men to a life of purpose.
Built for Significance: A three-session weekend retreat that helps men answer the question "Why am I here?" so that they can articulate and act upon God's mission for their lives and families.
