This event is a revival focused on developing a deeper relationship with God. Here is an excerpt from the invitation e-mail below:

The theme for this year is simply Revival. Revival is the process of transformation from death to life. Many men are physically alive, but dead emotionally and spiritually. And life’s purpose seems to be survival. What these men need, is Revival.

We encourage you to visit our website, reached through the attached invite, to receive the information you need to participate in this years Revival.. You will learn more about our speakers, on-line registration, timing and testimonials from past attendees. Included below are sample testimonies from last year–

“It was awesome, far more meaningful, thought provoking and intimate for me then a Promise Keepers event I had attended”.

“The first thing that caught my eye was seeing 250 men sitting in a pasture in the rain to hear what God wanted us to know and learn about”. .

I used to go through life, like many other men in our world today, thinking that God was some distant being and even if He had some grand plan my life was just a spec of dust that didn’t matter. I believed there was a God, I believed in Jesus, and would go to Church sometimes, but I never took the time to read the Bible and try to understand what God had planned for my life.

Several years ago I reached a point were nothing in life seemed to be going well. Like many people do, I put on a good front but all I was doing was surviving and everything felt empty. I was very fortunate to have a good friend who invited me to join a small men’s group that was doing a study series called “The Success That Matters”. This study has changed my life and Convicted me about the importance of having a closer relationship with God. A couple of men that organized the first Revival three years ago were in that group and I was blessed to be invited to the inaugural revival. I also attended the revival last year and God willing will be there again this year and I hope you will join us.

I now know that God wants to have a personal relationship with each and everyone of us. But in order to have that relationship we have to make God a priority in our lives. Please take the time to read the e-mail below, look at the attachment, and check out the website. Take 15 minutes to ‘listen’ to your heart and find out what God’s will for your life is, I promise you will not regret it.

This event is not affiliated with any single Church or particular religion. The group of men that have organized the Revivals are from 5 different churches and the speakers are from across the country. Their messages are VERY Powerful and will change your perspective about our purpose in life.

God Bless you all.

The speakers were awesome. However the one that just blew my mind away was the gentleman from Mt, Pleasant. Each statement was so profound. I wanted to back up the tape and contemplate what God had just said through him. I found his wisdom and vision to be similar to some of C.S. Lewis statements.

I could relate to what you said about being a Christian man, but wanting more of what Dave Turner and others have; that peace and serenity place being constant, not just some of the time.

I did pray over a young man who was hurting deeply over past actions. I thought we would see each other at church but thus far we have not.

Thanks again for an absolutely awesome time.

Great work, by Godly men.

Did we act within 48 hours? Yes, we sure did. The following morning we agreed to meet as a group on Wednesday evening to discuss the potential of a men’s ministry in our community. There was feeling of excitement and cooperation. We established three service/fellowship type of events events for the months of Sept., Oct. and Nov. whereby we have something to invite other men to and begin the process of creating a common bond. We are now also in the process of serious prayer for the Holy Spirit to guide us in the birthing of this vision we have.

We have a tentative name for our ministry and that is: “AISI Men’s Ministry”. The letters come from the first letters of the first four words of Proverbs 27:17 “As Iron Sharpens Iron, so one man sharpens another” We feel one of our major goals will be to keep each other accountable and this verse says it.

I am interested in your leadership program and we will continue to hold you men up in prayer. It is very obvious to me that the Holy Spirit is guiding your efforts. God Bless and thanks again for the great time on the 22nd. The rain served to drive the memories deeper into my mind.
