Spicing Up A Christian Mens Conference

By Cynthia Morgan


Pastors and church leaders find it difficult to engage men in spiritual conferences. Mobilizing them to attend, leave alone engaging them in activities is a bigger challenge. However, the design of Christian mens conference can help you capture this stubborn gender. Here are ideas you can use for different occasions to achieve desired results.

Organize activities similar to what scouts do. This could include communal activities and exclusive outdoor events. On an afternoon or weekend, take them off to a place where they need to find a way to a particular point. Also include puzzles for them to solve, either alone or in groups. In the process, they will bond and appreciate team work and the impact mission has on their immediate community. This will also keep them close to family.

Encourage them to share their skills. Men are born to want to help. Their skills is one of the best ways they can minister instead of sitting through the day and discussing ideas or listening to lectures. Take them to people within the community to need skills. They could also exchange the skills among themselves. They will feel valued and valuable to others around them. Many will volunteer in future once they discover the change that their skills can bring to the community.

Engage in sports. Men are natural lovers of sports. Engage them in a game and they will always turn up for your missions. The sports could involve improvisation of playing equipment and also involve children and people in the community. They begin to see as well as appreciate the kind of society they are living in.

Virtual gatherings are on the rise and are proving effective. Men claim to lack time for extensive engagement in mission. Virtual meetings give them a chance to continue working while still participating in mission. Hold regular and consistent discussions on social media and other virtual platforms in the most convenient way. Men will appreciate the new ways of communication as well as participating in mission activities.

Organize events that allow them to explain, show case or deal with gadgets. This could include sound systems, car engines and other such gadgets that are found at home or in work places. These gadgets come with complex instructions and features, some of which are difficult to understand. Men will have a field day showcasing their knowledge. Even the most reserved men will suddenly come to life.

Can dads manage children during Sunday school and other kid activities. Though the common picture is that of women engaging in such activities, men can perfectly handle them. The opportunity to handle children should be provided in a comfortable and resourced environment. This enhances their consciousness about children and vulnerable groups in the society. The children have a rare chance to enjoy the company of their fathers in an exclusive manner.

Men are eager to participate in conferences. It is only their nature of loving to be in-charge and having a short concentration span that makes conferences boring for them. Engage a specialist in organizing events that are specific to men in order to achieve desired success.
