March 2018
KNCSB Man Up Conference
Co-laborers,
Ever heard the old saying “pull yourself up by your bootstraps?” It speaks to someone being self-reliant, a man who is independent and the master of his own destiny. It speaks of a lie. While there is certainly a need for resilience the bible is clear; we aren’t meant to navigate the trials and tribulations of this life alone. We need to have a team, someone who has our back.
The KNCSB Men’s Ministry Team is hosting it’s third Man-Up Conference on March 2 & 3 at Webster Conference Center in Salina, KS. We are excited to bring in Robert Green as our main speaker. Robert is a 30 year youth ministry veteran, avid runner, spiritual coach, chaplain, and former Special Forces Green Beret.
Our theme for 2018 is “Brothers in Arms.” Robert will be helping us learn how to rely on our brothers in Christ as we walk through this life and proclaim the cross. We want men and teen guys attending to get the most out of this conference so we have added more breakout sessions and breakout times. As required by KNCSB there must be 2 approved sponsors per 10 teen guys. All teen guys under 18 need to have a medical form filled out and all church approved sponsors need to have a sponsor form filled out. These sponsors are responsible for the teens under their care but we would love to see all men and teens come together this weekend as brothers in Christ.
We will start at 3pm on Friday. Of course there is meat on the menu and we’re bringing back the Nerf War on Friday evening, so pack your nerf guns and safety glasses! We will provide non-mega darts! New this year is fishing and open gym to go along with the skeet shoot. We have moved these events to Saturday to accommodate everyone better. If you plan to skeet shoot you will need to bring your own shotgun and ammo. Adult men and teens planning to shoot need to fill out the Sports Activity Agreement. Minors planning to shoot will need to be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult. ALL signed sports activity agreement forms will need to be handed to and approved by a KNCSB team member or Webster employee before shooting.
All of us on the KNCSB Men’s Ministry Team hope to see you and your friends at this intense and faith changing conference.
In Christ,
John Harms
10 So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword.
