First of all, thank you for your prayers! They were answered beyond our expectation. Our prayer was for the men to have eyes to see, recovery of lost things, healing and restoration of the heart, freedom and life. Whoa, what an incredible God we have and how passionate He is for the hearts of His image bearers. This Top Gun weekend God gave us the most
broken and hurting group of men we’ve seen. A MASH Unit was what they needed. The ammo boxes (prayer request boxes) were full of cards of deep hurts, the conversations we had collectively with men saw common themes of deep agreements and deep wounds that men had not known or seen till this weekend. The Healing session was more than an exercise, it was a turning point
for many.

Remembering the advance words God gave us, "Keep it Simple, Share your Stories and Give them to Me." The recovery of lost things was a huge part of this mission (Luke 19:10) and we prayed over the mission for the men to have eyes to see and ears to hear. The objectives of, help them get their hearts back, teach them how to fight and show them where the real battles are we’re addressed to the best of our abilities and God showed up.
It was a glorious and hard fought weekend. I can’t begin to pick from
the Experience and Impact (evaluations) pages that men turned in as to
how the weekend went.

Celebrate with us Gods goodness and how He came for the men and came for us.


For His kingdom.
