Eastern Front Allies summary - Oct 9th

What a great time yesterday's call was for my heart and for the life I desire--- Connected to God and Connected to Others.

Thanks to all who could make it. Here is a recap of our time...

1. What a great story about Captain Bll Eckerd and his WWII experience as well as his journey to a reunion of the 100th infantry division taking him by the Barn and Haines and Kevin and Bill's son Robin. A heart changed... yours and Capt. Bills. That is a great story. Thanks for reminding us all of the power of God and this message to come after us.

2. Remembering what happened to you. Weve all heard John and the RH team talk about the thief coming to steal, though that can happen and does, often we just file the good stuff away and don't return to it. I was struck by this a couple of weeks ago and wanted to start our time with that inviting question: So, What happened to you? God has brought us all so far from where we were that a couple of minutes on the phone obviously wont do it justice but some time with Him or another man reflecting on it will do your heart good, I'm sure of it!

3. Men on a Mission

Jeff Andrecyn and his team from Charlottesville are speakers at a men's retreat in Columbia... Carrying this message in four sessions this weekend as well as inviting these men to more at TOP GUN in March 09.

Haines, Kevin, Dan, Ernie and the Band from Charlotte are doing the Men of Steele (Steel Creek Church) men's retreat next weekend

Tad Fisher and Mark Leinberger in Richmond, Roanoke and Salem are taking their squadron into a mission for the hearts of men at their churches men's retreat in a couple of weeks.

Rob Loghery in Philly area is taking a men's Boot Camp to the Methodist churches in Nov in his area and at a Methodist Camp in the Pocono's.

Kevin Keifer from DC is taking 12 men in his foxhole to Nagshead (the beach) to go deeper in their friendships and relationships. Sharing their stories and finding more clarity in their lives.

The Zoweh team Durham/Chapel Hill is offering a couples weekend Oct 24-26. A getaway for us (the couples of the eastern front) to enjoy getting to know one another from the Eastern Front. There is still room for 3 couples.

Mark Folk and his team at New Wilderness Adventures is having their Golf event fundraiser coming up

4. Some Encouraging Words we ended on...

Rent Mr. Holland's Opus

The Gospel is not about Relief but Restoration

We are not settlers but pilgrims who travel lightly and with great purpose.

We (the allies of the Eastern Front) are changed men and therefore Compelled to do what we do... offer Life and Freedom to others while seeking it and living it ourselves.

There are no short cuts, just ordained delays.
