 Frank Worsley, captain of the Endurance. One of the men who answered the call. |
This ad* was for Sir Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic expedition of 1914-15. They failed in their quest to reach the south pole, but their experience was amazing and inspiring. They all should have died, but they didn't. Their ship was crushed by the Antarctic ice, more than 1,000 miles from help, outside radio range. No one was coming to help. Except maybe Jesus. What they endured and how they managed to survive is just unbelievable. When I read through the account of what they went through I can't help but wonder if they had divine assistance. Read more about it here: www.coolantarctica.com
Note: This version of the ad is most likely an urban legend. While Shackleton did advertise for men to accompany him on this voyage, there is no historical evidence that he used this wording. BUT it is compelling and does reflect the spirit of the voyage they were about to undertake. |

What we are up to
Progress report - June, 2011:
Our annual men's weekend away is set to September 23 - 25, 2011. After several years of discussion we have decided to officially change the name of our annual "Retreat" to "Advance." Our guest speakers have great plans, and this could be one of our best weekends ever. There has been some concerns over the years about alcohol at the retreats, so this year we are going dry, alcohol will not longer be tolerated. Looking forward to a great weekend!
We are continuing to try and support Terry Black's "prayer Guys" on Monday nights.
The Men's Ministry Team goal is to encourage and build-up the individual members of the Men's Ministry Team and the church body. As individual members realize their calling and are inspired to act as lead by Jesus, the other members of the team will lend support. Click HERE to download our handout about Men's Ministry.
Anyone interested in getting involved with Men's Ministry should email me.
