Feedback is beginning to come in

Dave Brown, pastor at Fellowship EPC in Michigan sent a long email with lots of great input. Here are just a few of his thoughts...

You guys put on a very helpful Summit. Your generosity, laser focus, variety of God Talks and interviews, input gathering workshops all contributed to a very positive experience for me. ... Thank you so much for all your efforts. I will implement many ideas and build some connections with Michigan men’s ministry leaders because of this conference.

Lasting Impressions from the Summit

1. MIM is generous with resources; meals; prayers and encouragements
2. MIM Staff are approachable, knowledgeable, direct, open, encouraging, real;
3. It would be better to come with 1-3 guys – a bit awkward at tables and on my own for Friday night meal. (meeting plan fell through)
4. It was refreshing to listen to visionary, strategic, practically oriented disciplemaking leaders.
5. I could use someone to come along side me – like a Brian Doyle – to take next steps.
6. I’d like to make contributions to MIM in SE Michigan by developing church, town, regional, denominational, Z4:10 applications of Men’s discipleship based on a well-established model at FEPC by next year.
7. My first next step is to find a point man and build a leadership team for Men’s Discipleship. This would be followed by participation w/team in NMLB training.
8. I believe that the next adaptation of the NMLB is a No one in the community left behind.
9. I think Pat belongs on the list of speakers at WCA Leadership Summit
10. God is at work in places I’ve not expected – Catholics, IPHC; UMC; ELCA
11. Worship using scripture reading was okay; I’d like to encourage musical praise/singing
12. Written Evaluations are parts of many conferences I go to. I think you’ll get better by offering guys a chance to provide such evaluations/suggestions.

Great comments all! Don't worry, Dave, evaluations are on the way. In all the excitement, we forgot to hand them out!
