For those who don’t know, Angus Buchanan organized a Mighty Men’s Conference on his farm near Greytown, which 60000 men attended.
Some of those men were from Northrand and it really was a blessed time.
The gist of the weekend was about building men of Christian character and I believe that all who attended were challenged in this way.
To be Christian men:
- In the family
- In the workplace
- In the church
Awesome!!!
Tyron Edwards once said:
Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny.
Ain’t that the truth!
So we are all, men and women, challenged to fix our destiny in Christ, who is the beginning and end, to allow Him to define our purpose for living and to change our habits which in turn change our actions…
If you aren’t sure where you stand right now, go to the Tell Me About Jesus link and pray with us, then let us know and we’ll be in contact with you.

Hi John
Having followed the MMC on internet, disturbing to me is the fact that I did not see a single picture of a black man nor read a single comment written by one. Did people like Lazarus, Admire and Hamilton attend. It is my suspicion that this was very much a "Whitey" affair and not representative of the population of SA. The whole idea somehow lacks balance in many ways. This is, in my opinion, very disturbing and the bigger picture, dangerous for our country. It is also not something Jesus would condone. I hope that I am wrong.
hi Kathy
Thanks for the comment.
Yes Admire, Petchi, Hamilton did go and yes, there was a lot more white men than black men but the invitation was open to all.
So that begs the question, where were our black brothers? Is it not something they find important? Remebering that there was no cost for the week end etc.
Personally, I believe we need to move to place where we no longer distinquish between white and black events rather respect each others choices about what we find important and what not.
That for me, is the real challenge for this country - to look beyond the race card.
