"How
did the Men of Hope get started?"
|
|
John Mentus
answers this question:
It all started with many different men getting
together to get other men to go to the Promise Keeper's conference in
Washington, DC in 1995. We would meet every two weeks on a
Thursday night and start with prayer. We decided to start a Task
Force and asked for additional training from Promise Keeper's
headquarters Denver, CO. I also serve as a coach for the
National Coalition of Men's Ministries. www.ncmm.org
We will go anywhere in New England to train men to be
effective leaders in their churches. The rest is history. This is
the short version answer. GOD BLESS. BIG JOHN SERVING THE MASTER.

"What
projects have you worked on?"
|
| We worked hard to bring Promise
Keepers ministry to Providence, Rhode Island, in the summer of 2001.
Since all volunteers had careers, families and limited amounts of time, we created this web site
then as an aid to communicating with many
churches and individuals at one time. After the tremendous
blessing of that event, the site continues to serve today.
At the Worcester, MA, Promise
Keepers conference on August 25 and 26th, 2000, 11 of the 40 local
volunteer team supervisors and managers were from Rhode Island. We
intentionally wanted to get our people trained a year early so that a
Providence conference could go forward with a core of trained people.
We also provide
ongoing training
in men's ministry to local churches (what it is and how to do it).

"Have
you always been called the "Men of Hope"?"
|
| No.
We were previously known as the "Rhode Island Task Force - Promise
Keepers" composed of "Ambassadors" (2 Corinthians 5:20)
trained by Promise Keepers. The mission
of our organization has remained the same, however. |
