Decide to live a life of significance today As men we want to succeed, to live a life of significance and purpose, leaving a legacy of eternal value. Yet many men feel trapped on the treadmill of life. Stuck in survival mode. Existing, not living…
We are called to more than this! What stirs your heart but hasn’t yet been fulfilled? God has a clear vision and a pathway mapped out for you to follow on your spiritual journey. To walk this pathway requires us to make wise decisions, to break free from all those things that would hinder us and hold us back. To break through into all that God has called us to, and see His promises fulfilled in our lives. God is faithful, bringing true transformation at this year’s Promise Keepers Break Free Events. God is awesome and is always there to be my heavenly Father, to break the chains once again, and refresh my belief that I’m on a journey, on the right track. Pieter At Break Free Auckland, get the traction you need to propel yourself forward on your spiritual journey. It can start with that one small step, so decide to register today. This is your opportunity in 2012 to stand shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of other men in the presence of God. To hear from Him and receive His guidance and direction for your life.
Exciting new venue! - see inside
Promise Keepers is here to help you break through to your destiny in Christ by identifying what is holding you back, and helping you to overcome it. As men we know all too well what those hindrances are. Those things are also trying to steal our destiny away from us. In many ways the little foxes spoil the vines in us all. These sins can ruin our lives. Our progress forward can be slowed or stopped by wrong patterns in our lives, by passivity, by sickness, lack of direction, poor relationships, finances, isolation and stagnation.
Come battling challenges – leave in victory When you position yourself for change at Break Free, there will be shifts that occur. These changes have already happened for over 1200 men at the earlier Events in Christchurch and Wellington. Mark said, “It has been a challenging year - problems with my marriage and feeling stuck in my career and family goals. But praise God, He brought me to Promise Keepers this year… This encouraged me as I was feeling overwhelmed… This has been the one of the two most significant spiritual experiences since I became a Christian.” Men were shown a clear pathway for spiritual growth and challenged to identify where they were on that journey and what continued over >

It parallels the spiritual journey that Jesus took from submission to strength to sacrifice, and how we all need to pass through the various stages of this journey to progress to spiritual maturity. The inevitable result of this is living a life of significance and leaving a legacy of eternal value.
Come with fears – leave with faith Many men found this allowed them to understand what God’s purpose was and break free from the things holding them back and preventing them from fulfilling all God had destined for them. They had made the decision to get everything they could from God at Break Free. I came with a number of reservations and fears… What I have come away with has strengthened me spiritually. Manny Highlight: Having my faith restored after spending so many years feeling as if my life at 35 was over… This weekend at Promise Keepers has given me the hope and belief I can overcome these as well as the strength to trust in God with my future.

Come with questions – leave with answers The new Event format with the variety of presentations and learning styles provides opportunities for the questions men have to be answered. This week I had a lot of questions and things that I
was searching for, like wanting to be able to grow and be strong spiritually. I came into this with a lot of questions and on that first night I had them all answered and I really did feel His presence. Katini This new format was enthusiastically received. A number of men who hadn’t attended a Promise Keepers Event for several years were extremely positive about the significant changes they experienced this year.
Come alone – leave with friends… Come with friends – leave as brothers If you come alone, you could leave with friends because Promise Keepers is an experience that bonds you as brothers. The style is not simply being lectured from an expert at the front - it is so much more. If you come with friends, you will leave as brothers, because the Event experience is so deep. Highlight: Celebrating Christ with brothers in arms. Fellowshipping with church brothers. Andre Highlight: Forming bonds of relationship and brotherhood to unite in strength and honour. Shaun Awesome brothers came alongside me and prayed for me, built me up, encouraged me. It makes it all worthwhile. Greg Together, I have found a rekindling in my flame to grow in God, not just on my own but with my brothers in Christ. Katini This year’s Event has been completely re-engineered and revitalised. We have an exciting new pathway for

A major change to a new central city venue will bring new opportunities and a fresh, vibrant atmosphere. Victory Convention Centre auditorium has the same seating capacity as last year’s venue (2,500). The auditorium features outstanding architectural design and acoustics. All seating is forward facing and comfortably padded. Victory Convention Centre has recently undergone a multi-million dollar redevelopment as part of the Victoria Park Tunnel project. New side rooms, cafe area, outside decks and a plaza have been added. The venue is situated in the emerging heart of Auckland near the waterfront and right beside the SH1 motorway. The new Wynyard Quarter, Silo Park, Victoria Park and Westhaven are all within walking distance. Its location provides opportunities for innovative activities which have been incorporated into our new revitalised program. We are setting aside the outside plaza area for the exclusive use of groups to meet and eat (using their BBQs) or they can venture into the adjacent Victoria Park.
Parking for you Victory Convention Centre has 300 FREE onsite covered carparks, with ample extra street parking and commercial facilities in the area. We will have friendly volunteers to assist you to find a parking spot. This new venue is an amazing and exciting step forward for Promise Keepers which will add to the enjoyment and experience of the Event.
