I have had the privilege of commissioning men all over the world, but there is nothing I have enjoyed more than commissioning 37 young men, ten to sixteen years old last Saturday night at the "Men of Honor and Women of Honor Banquet with Tony & Melissa Rorie.
I believe what Tony Rorie is doing in schools,church's and recreation centers across north Texas is finally the fruition of Edwin Cole's "Timothy Project." Discipling young men with the young men's curriculum.
These young men not only learn and live the "Coleisms" but have brought a another level of maturity as young men to the place they live and learn daily in school.
Yes they state the axiom that "Manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous." But they also declare that "I do right because it's the right thing to do." "If there is no man, I will be that man."
How refreshing is it to see young men run to a door to open it for a young lady. Or more refreshing is when they go through the rites of passage and ask God to help them walk a path of sexual pureness.
Yet the moment that brought tears to every man and woman's eyes Saturday night was when one young man(boy) ten years old, began to confess how rebellious he had been toward authority including his parents but God had touched and changed his heart. He wept as he shared what God had done and Tony stood there with his arms around him as only a man with the heart of the Father could do, until he regained his composure and finished testifying.
There are full grown adult men that cant, don't and won't get in front of people to tell what God has done in their lives. Yet parents came to the microphone to thank Tony and Melissa for their ministry to their sons and daughters.
The Men of Honor and Ladies of Honor is teaching and ministering the character and integrity of God that somehow has been lost to this younger generation.
These are the types of ministries that need our support, financially and prayerfully.
Remember when you give to Faithful Men Ministries, you are not giving to Jack King, you are giving to a ministry that has hundreds of Tony Rorie's impacting thousands of young men and young ladies for Christ.
During this season of celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour, don't forget the lives that need your financial support to be made disciples.
Consider increasing your gift this year. Many church's and ministries are suffering economic decrease in the support of their partners. We are grateful for partners that are faithful and generous, especially during this time. It is a great honor to serve the Lord with you in the ministry He has given us. It is a greater honor to share the greatest gift.......Jesus.
May this be the greatest time of the year for you and your family.
Merry Christmas,
Jack and Betty King
