Iron sharpens Iron

On April 14 we enjoyed the well anticipated Men's Dinner at our church. Dave Anderson has been giving leadership to our neglected Men over this past year. In addition to our Men's Prayer group and our many sports teams (We have hundreds of men and women who play hockey, baseball, soccer, pickleball, floorhockey and golf), Dave has been giving leadership to Friday Knights as well as our Tuesday Evening Group.
When he told Pastor Terry that he fully expected 200 men to show up for dinner, Terry cautioned him to not be too disappointed if not as many show up. After all, we've never had more than 70 guys at any men's gathering.

As the pictures show, we had over 22o men who came to dinner. Wow! I've never seen such amounts of testosterone in one place at a time. I was rather suprised, but very pleased when I walked in to the lobby of our nice church to see some powerful motorcycles lined up on display. On the other side of the room was a large table of mighty power tools. Guys were all over the place! It was great. Dave had organized a whole team of men to cook huge steaks, lots of vegetables, salad and freshly baked bread. There was as much as we wanted to eat.

Thank-you Lord for giving us so many good men who are willing and ready to lead others down the path of Life! I know that this is just the beginning. Dave and his team have a vision for reaching the men of our Tri-Cities area and then of Canada. Now Terry and I believe him when he tells us of his dreams!
