  2. Contents • Background reflections • Anchor Men’s Vission • Anchor Men’s Mission • Supportive Scripture • Mission implementation • Summary

  3. Background reflections • Vision for the Fellowship was birthed about 11 years ago • The group started by a firm persuasion from the NEC • There is no doubt that the vision has caught on and embraced by men • One of the indicators of progress is our large number gathered here today – over 130 people • WE ARE IMENSELY GRATEFUL TO ALL MEMBERS AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE COME TO THIS CONFERENCE

  4. Why Men’s Group at all • Two main reasons • Realisation of Man’s position in God’s creation • Position of man has become challenged • Society is broken, confusion is being peddled and spread instead of being corrected

  5. Why Men’s Group at all • Men’s leadership is no longer on a platter of gold • Men’s leadership is to be achieved by true responsible living – doing the right thing and sacrificially as Christ • There is eternal reward • OFNC is a good platform

  6. Men as leaders need mutual support and vision • Proverbs 27:17 – Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend • Ecclesiastes 10:10 - If the axe is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success

  7. The vision should be written and well known Habakkuk 2:2 Then theLord answered me and said: “Writethe vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. – (NKJ)

  8. Our Vision To equip men for works of service Eph 4 : 12

  9. Our Mission With God's help, men should take their leadership roles as Priest, Prophets and Kings in the home as fathers, husbands and sons and in the Church and Society at large

  10. Reference Ephesians 4 - Excellent for our vision and mission V 1 – 13, tells what we should be • Lead a life worthy of our calling • Always be humble, gentle, patient with people, tolerant of others, united in Spirit, peaceful • Apostle, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers • Equipped for the works of service • mature measuring to standard of Christ

  11. Reference V 14 – 31, what we should not be • No longer like gentiles be hopelessly confused, full of darkness, have hardened hearts, full of lustfulness and impurity, no shame • Stop telling lies, avoid anger, stealing, abusive, foul language, bitterness • Instead we should be generous, encouraging, kind, tender hearted as God

  12. Our roles Prophet – divinely visionary, discerning, guide destinies Priest – intercession, teach, support, counsel, affirm King – guide with equity, judge, develop, nurture Husband – lead, responsible, faithful, value Father – provide, inspire, encourage, role model Son – responsible, honour, rites

  13. Actioning the Mission - Modes of operation • Training and engagement • Christian spiritual leadership • Family responsibility • Men’s health education • Professional and business skills development • Mentoring • Family oriented activities • Community building

  14. Immediate tasks • Sharing good practice between Branch groups • Interaction with Women’s and 18-30s group • Development of electronic reference repository for men • Joint mentoring scheme with the 18-30s group • Intercession • Development of friendships among men • Improvement of Anchor Men’s Conference

  15. Summary • God has expectations for men • Expected to live as Priests, Prophets and Kings • Husbands, Fathers and Sons • Equipped by God to serve • Should not live like gentiles in confusion • We need to sharpen one another • Out tools for living must not be blunt ARISE MIGHTY MEN OF VALOUR

  16. Anchor Men’s Conference • Why this name? • The women have two conferences - Women and WinBLe • The 18 – 30s have CONNECT • We were the last to start, so we thought we should be ANCHOR • Hebrews 6:19 - Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil

  17. Background reflections • Our two immediate past leaders were Bro Mike Ibemesiand Dr NosaUwubamwen – travailed and prevailed • We have tried 2 – Day and 1 – Day Conference options, 1 – Day has apparently been more popular • Today we have over 130 attendees • There is still a need to carry on articulating the vision and mission of the Group
