More Promise Keeping
I've just returned from yet another Promise Keepers event. This one was in Edmonton again. But it was just a small group of sin 30 men being taught and equipped to minister to other men.
It was great to meet Steve Masterson again. I first met him as our counselling Prof. and our church cell group leader when we were in Seminary over 20 years ago. In more recent years he has been involved in teaching and discipling men through Promise Keepers Canada. I'm sure he has been "Jesus with skin on" to me more than any other man. I seem to be experiencing more and more of his ministry as the years go by.
At the seminar we had times of teaching by Brother Steve, one on one discipleship with our peer leader, and even private times of reflection.
On Saturday afternoon we went for a "God walk." I went down by a man made lake, enjoyed some warm sunny weather, enjoyed some ducks and geese there, and enjoyed time with God.
At the end of the seminar we had a washing ceremony. (below) Each cohort leader washed his men's hands, eyes, and ears as and affirmation of moral purity. (There was more to it than that but you would have had to have been there).Can you find me in the group picture?
We prayed for one another. Sometimes we prayed in groups. Sometimes it was one-on-one. The two young men pictured below really ministered to each other. They were standing like this and praying and ministering to each other for probably over half an hour.
