Ok men, is this a good idea or a God idea? Pastor Joe and I were talking about ways to engage the men in our community and help them grow in their faith. What if we got some guys together that like to use their hands for rebuilding stuff and began a ministry focused on.
- Building (and rebuilding) Homes
Whether it's in Iowa, Biloxi, Aurora, or Naperville, we take on projects to help rebuild homes damaged either by the forces of nature or the forces of the economy under-resourced.
- Building (and rebuilding) Faith
We take the time to help men grow in their faith; building and rebuilding disciples who see faith as something integreal to life and not just an add on.
And we would simply call this "Rebuilding Men." I think we would keep this real simple ... bible study and building ... taking time once a month to grow in faith by studying scipture and taking time each month to idenfiy project for men to work on.
Thoughts?
Mark,
I love the idea, the key will be how can you get men of all ages to step out of their comfort zone and share their love and also concerns regarding their faith. The use of building to bridge the massive gap of comfort for men is brilliant. I look forward to seeing where this all goes!

I think this is a great idea. There is always plenty of opportunities to help someone in need.
