What is the Men's Prayer Advance?
Every Advance features heart-directed preaching, heart-felt congregational worship, and heart-to-heart fellowship. We have no axes to grind and no agendas to promote. Our singular purpose is a spiritual encounter with the living Christ.
This Year's Theme:
A missionary society in England wrote to missionary David Livingston and asked, “Have you found a good road to where you are in Africa? If so, we want to send other men to join you.” Livingstone wrote back, “If you have men who will come only if they know there is a good road, I don’t want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all!”
We need a generation of trailblazers who are eager to move up to the NEXT LEVEL. The writer of Hebrews exhorts us—'Leaving the first principles... let us go on to perfection (maturity)' (Heb. 6:1). To arrive at the NEXT LEVEL, you must leave your current position. To take higher ground, you must leave the lowlands.
A pioneering spirit is mandatory to fulfill the masculine mandate. Our culture, and many churches, in America have downplayed manliness. But Biblical men are aggressive. They take initiative. They don’t need to be spoon-fed, or hand-fed. They aggressively pursue Christ and His Kingdom cause.
To see a resurgence of biblical masculinity we must inspire, instruct, inspect, and ignite a holy flame among Christian men. And that is exactly what the Men’s Advance is designed to do!
Kindergarten is where we start, but it’s not where we want to stay! In terms of prayer, we must move on from the entry level of merely "asking.” It's time to explore NEW LEVELS of intercession: Pleading, Weeping, Fasting, Groaning, and Wrestling. The crying need of this late hour is Godly men who are holy, empowered, and courageous in Kingdom enterprise.
Time is fleeting. Now is the time move up to the NEXT LEVEL.

"Along with my Pastor I just attended my first Advance....Soul Shaking!!! for sure. 750 strong Christian men praising and glorifying our God whose presence abounded throughout. If a man didn't leave lifted, renewed, informed and carrying a desire to be more engaged....my Brother, you need to be checked for a pulse."
