One of my favourite scriptures is 1 Chronicles 12:32 “from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do – 200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command”. This scripture has always challenged me to keep my eyes open to what is going on around me both in the natural and Read More
As a network we are here to encourage and equip men to understand and engage in the vital role they have in the Kingdom of God. This is becoming more and more imperative in the turbulent social times we live in. Our focus this year is on connection with a particular emphasis on one of Read More
