As it says in the Bible
Jesus invited men to follow him.
For those who decided to, they were never the same.
In 2004 a small group of men from around the world who made that same decision
were invited to Fort Lauderdale, Florida
to look deeper into what it means to respond to Jesus' invitation.
Band of Brothers in Christ started out as just a one-time event a platform for discipleship
where we invest resources in men who were Changed by the Word to change the world.
It was just a small group of us. There were no distractions.
We brought in a few of the foremost Christian thinkers, speakers, authors that we could find and the young men were really challenged.
We thought it was a success! But God wasn't done...
Band of Brothers in Christ grew after 2004 and it continues to do so.
Today, over 60 men from 20 states and 9 countries are a part of our discipleship community.
It is an absolute joy to see young men take ownership of their faith
in every area, no exceptions -- and become men who will and are changing the world.
By building long-term relationships between a new group of brothers each year,
encouraging brothers who are changing the world,
and continually supporting brothers in replicating their discipleship in others,
Band of Brothers in Christ is seeing the vision of creating an ongoing community of disciples take shape.
What God can do with one idea and one window of opportunity is amazing. He took the desire of a few people,
to invest in young men who were changed by the word to change the world,
and gave a group of us a vision to stay connected for a lifetime in an ongoing community of disciples.
From the very first group of men who chose to follow Jesus to those of among us now,
making that same decision, we have a responsibility to go back out into the world, and make disciples of all nations.
As we speak, Band of Brothers in Christ is equipping a new group of men to go and do just that...
