PROMISE KEEPERS CANADA YEAR-END UPDATE
WHY MEN NEED HELP “MEN CAN FIGURE IT OUT FOR THEMSELVES.”
I
hear that comment all the time in our work. The truth is, men need help.
Every day, men are bombarded with worldly messages about success and temptations to compromise. We are dealing with fears of failing and uncertainties about how to manage all of our responsibilities in life in a way that pleases God. Men need help, and men need someone who is for them. As a ministry, we are for the men of Canada. We believe God wants to see men
As we approach the end of 2015, the men of Canada need your help! Please read through this review of all that God has done over the past twelve months, and then become part of helping men grow stronger in Christ through a special year-end donation.
