In 2003 the Lord laid it on Angus' heart to mentor young men. The message the Lord gave him was to teach men to be Christlike leaders in their households:
• Prophet: Men have the great privilege of speaking the words of God to their families.
• Priest: To pray and intercede before God for their families.
• King: To lead, provide for, and defend their families.
That is not to say that men are more important than women. We encourage men to take their rightful place to bless the people in their lives. Things go well when we walk in the way of Jesus; families flourish, women are respected, loved, protected, and children thrive.
Since 2003 and the initial events on Shalom Farm, MMC has grown far beyond what we could have imagined - Mighty Men Conferences are happening worldwide. Events are run by independent organisers who meet once a year at Shalom Farm to be further encouraged with the significant task on their hands.
The MMC message is simple:
• Men need to be Godly examples in the workplace. Whether on the sports field, in the factory, on the farm, at college or university, they must lead by example.
• Physical, spiritual and mental attitudes towards life must convey the fragrance of Jesus Christ in everything. Our lifestyles must match up with what we say.
• Men must understand that they are responsible for their family, community and nation. Men are encouraged to be good fathers, good husbands, good leaders and good citizens for the benefit of the Kingdom of God.
• Men must be responsible when it comes to the management of finances, moral standards & Biblical principles.
• Value God's opinion on matters above all others.
• Scripture must qualify everything we say.
MMC events are a time for men to come away to meet with Jesus and be taught, encouraged, and strengthened in God. The whole family is encouraged to join in on the final Sunday session - everyone is welcome.
