TARGETED DEMOGRAPHIC

Coaches of youth sports, youth group leaders, and others who want to utilize their gifts, passions, abilities, and experiences to help men build and leave lasting legacies by having made a relevant difference in lives of other men.

There are four key ways for equipping men to live purpose-driven lives:

1. Helping Discover their Core Foundation Major elements of their core foundation include their core spiritual beliefs, core values, and guiding principles.

2. Teaching the Life Basics These eight best practices are needed for getting prepared for the game of life.

1- Thinking like winners 2- Making winning decisions 3- Building authentic relationships 4- Following the Golden Rule 5- Spending money wisely 6- Using time wisely 7- Avoiding life pot holes

3. Teaching Best Leadership Practices These are needed for becoming an effective leader: 1- Building Relationships 2- Conducting Meetings with Purpose 3- Developing Action Plans 4- Dealing with Difficult People 5- Mentoring Others 6- Evaluating Leadership Impact

4. Teaching HOW TO Live with a Purpose This includes a series of four short courses which are focused on helping men discover and realize God’s purpose for all His people as stated below: “to become faithful servants by trusting and obeying Christ daily”

This is achieved by being equipped and taking action regarding the four key phases of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life-long spiritual journey. These are Connecting, Growing, Modeling, and Serving Faithfully. The connecting phase is the phase people can be confident of being welcomed into Heaven as a result of establishing an authentic, dependent relationship with Christ.

Options There are many ways to participate in this movement such as being mentors, teachers, pilot testers, door openers, inviters, supporters, advisors, promoters, and movement starters.
