Men On a Mission

Nehemiah 4:14; “as I looked over the situation, I called together the leaders and the people and said to them, Don’t be afraid of the enemy! Remember the Lord, Who is great and glorious and fight for your friends, your families and your homes.”

Vision

Men pointing men to Christ, leading them to a place of mobilizing and practicing an encouraging faith, a sharing faith and a working faith as they seek and discover personal vision from God.

Mission

Our mission is for men to come alongside men, empowered by the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the life of Christ through…

Practicing an Encouraging Faith:

  • Coming alongside the believer, practicing an encouraging faith in Christ through
    • Praying for and with each other
    • Reading and sharing God’s Word
    • Building and enjoying true friendship

Practicing a Sharing Faith:

  • Coming alongside the unbeliever, practicing a sharing faith in Christ through…
    • Building friendships right where we live, work and worship.

Practicing a Working Faith:

  • Coming alongside all men, practicing a working faith in Christ through…
    • Servanthood that demonstrates practical acts of kindness, meeting real needs.
1 Thessalonians 1: 3; “We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.”

3 Strong:

  • (triads of men)
    Ecclesiastes 4:9-10,12; “ But suppose the man who falls down doesn’t have anyone to help him up. Then feel sorry for him! One person could be over-powered. But two people can stand up for themselves. And a rope made out of three cords isn’t easily broken.”
  • Men coming alongside men, mobilizing and implementing God’s call to support and strengthen each other, standing strong in practicing an encouraging faith, sharing faith and working faith.
  • Developing new and deeper relationships as more men become involved in this ministry and are encouraged to create new triads of men.
  • Connecting every week via breakfast, phone call, coffee, etc.

Core Values

Right where we live, work and worship,
we will strive to:

  • Live a life of integrity and accountability before God and men,
  • Practice what we believe and say
  • Demonstrate the life and character of Christ at work in us.

To Know Christ as Your Savior and Lord

EVERYONE IS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST HIS SON

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son (Jesus), that whoever believes in Him (Jesus) shall not perish but have eternal life.”  John 3:16

WITHOUT KNOWING CHRIST, EVERYONE IS SEPARATED FROM GOD.

“For ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.”  Romans 3:23

“For the wages of sin is death.”  Romans 6:23

EVERYONE HAS BUT ONE WAY TO KNOW GOD.

“Jesus said to him, I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father (God) except through me.”  John 14:6

EVERYONE IS CALLED TO MAKE A PERSONAL DECISION TO RECEIVE AND ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND LORD.

“But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.”  John 1:12

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not as a result of works, that no one should boast.”  Ephesians 2:8-9

EVERYONE MUST INVITE JESUS INTO THEIR HEARTS AND LIVES FOR FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM AND PURPOSE FOR EVERY TODAY.

“Behold, I (Jesus) stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in …”  Revelation 3:20

WILL YOU RECEIVE JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR AND LORD? 

You, too, can accept Jesus at this moment by asking Him to come into your heart and life.  You can do this by praying a prayer like this: 

“Lord Jesus, I need you.  I confess to you that I am a sinner and have sinned against you.  Please forgive me of all my sin!  I give you my heart and turn my life over to you and accept You as my Savior, my Lord and my God.  I invite You to come into my heart and life and take control of my life in every area.  I invite You to be my Lord and Master, forever.

Thank You Jesus, for forgiving me of my sins, coming into my heart and life as Savior and Lord!  Thank you for making me your child and giving me an unshakeable hope of being with You forever!

Thank You, Jesus, that You have promised that You will never leave me or forsake me now that I have asked You to come into my life.  Amen.”

If you prayed that prayer, you are now a child of God, you are a member of His family.  You will have eternal life with Him forever.

We would love to hear from you, and be able to celebrate this decision with you.  Please call or email us, so that we can know about your decision, and we can talk with you about what it means to be a Christian and the exciting future you have ahead of you as a follower of Jesus.

NOW WHAT?  If you would like someone to pray with you concerning your decision to follow Jesus Christ, please call 774.239.6267

Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing for the Lord.  I really believe that attending your class gave me the courage to step out in faith.  I have had a lot of doubts at times as to whether I could handle everything, but through it God has helped me to narrow in on what He really wants me to do and He remains so faithful!

“Oh Lord, What is Your Vision for My Life”, series

Leave a reply

Choice greetings to all of you!

  I trust that God is working His specific purposes in your hearts and lives!  This series is open to anyone who desires to embark on this journey.

Foundational and Supporting Ingredients:

  1. We give ample opportunity to discuss, write down and or share what God is speaking into our hearts and lives in order to discover ways on “how to implement”.  Two reasons for this; 1) that you will benefit personally, 2) that those who hear what God is speaking into your life will be encouraged and deeper fellowship ensues.
  2. Time for specific prayer.
  3. The third component of seeking, discovering and implementing God’s specific vision for our lives is simply, “implementing” it.
    1. Although implementing God’s vision for your personal life right where you live and work is mostly between you and Him, my desire for this class is to form a network of friendships whereby your connection through prayer and fellowship with others will encourage and strengthen your ongoing journey.
    2. Coming alongside each other “as a team” and mobilizing in order to implement a specific mission that will bring the lost to Christ and strengthen the believer that is directed by the Holy Spirit, will bring glory to God! Therefore, I believe it is essential to the success of the purpose of your personal journey, this class and the Body of Christ to become the instrument through which God demonstrates His heart to others.

   Again, it would be a blessing to come and share this series with you!  My desire is that you will continue your journey of:

  1. Seeing what God sees for your life,
  2. Believing that what He says concerning your life, He also has the power to perform it in and through your life,
  3. Possessing the assurance or hope to endure,
  4. Acting upon His purposes for your life.

Finally, please pray for this series that hearts and lives will be ministered to in specific ways?   And please pray for Coming Alongside Ministries?  Thank you!  If you desire to invite us to share this series with you and/or with those you lead, please email me.  I look forward to hearing from you!

Coming Alongside you serving Him,

Daryl Rainbow
