Women and Promise Keepers

Creating Fulfilling

Relationships

Promise Keepers is a ministry designed to ignite and unite men to become passionate followers of Jesus Christ through living out the 7 Promises of a Promise Keeper - to God, other men, their family, their church and their community.

Promise Keepers Promise Keepers’ vision is simple: Transforming Ordinary Guys into Extraordinary Men! Most men deeply desire to be men of their word - men of integrity.

Men are often isolated, particularly by work. Yet they want closer friendships and to be a vital part of a community. All men have influence; they want to make a positive impact and leave a lasting legacy. Men who are married want to be better husbands and fathers.

Promise Keepers’ mission is to help men experience transformation.

Why should I encourage the man in my life to attend a Promise Keepers Event?

Promise Keepers Men’s Events are designed to awaken men to their full potential and inspire them to commit to an ongoing process of change, character building and integrity.

You can be instrumental in enabling your man to attend Promise Keepers. Your encouragement and affirmation could help him and his friends be part of Promise Keepers.

Promise Keepers is just awesome. My husband has been four times and each time he comes back with an ignited soul, and looks so refreshed. He has learnt so much about how to walk with God. Thank you for inspiring and encouraging him, as men do need encouragement. PK encourages men to face their failures, bring them out in the open and walk on with God with a stronger faith, as my husband is an example of that. Thank you. Lynette, Oamaru

Is Promise Keepers only for married men?

Promise Keepers Events have something for every man from 11 years to 99 years. While many men who attend Promise Keepers are married, single men (including widowed and divorced men) report that insights gained at Promise Keepers Events give them a greater understanding in relating to God and in other significant relationships.

We encourage the men from our church to go. We need to support them as this is such a great way for men to build and improve relationships in all areas plus have great fellowship with each other, coming home topped up spiritually, emotionally and mentally. Adele, Greymouth

- Transforming Men What should I expect from my man after he has attended a Promise Keepers Event?

It takes most men some time to process the things they experience at a Promise Keepers Event. The Event can jump-start a man’s spiritual life but change and growth often take time. In any relationship, usually both people need to make some adaptations for meaningful change to take place. Your encouragement will help this.

My husband and two boys – now growing into men – have attended Promise Keepers for a number of years and I have seen such a change in my husband from a man who was addicted to a suffocating addiction to the man he is today - a man of God, a strong and dedicated husband and ambassador for God. I thank God each day for how He has not only changed my husband, but our marriage, and influenced the young men in our family. I hope Promise Keepers will continue to touch men’s hearts through the Holy Spirit. Jacqui, Levin

This is fantastic and I would be very privileged to pray for Promise Keepers. We have reaped as a family so much from your Events and I am blessed with a wonderful husband who has taken on so much of what you have taught him, and three amazing sons, two of whom are old enough to come along and have been grounded on His amazing foundation.

Dawn & Samuel It’s a love revolution!

Dawn August 2010 – “I have a husband attending [Promise Keepers Christchurch 2010] and he has never committed his life to Christ. I believe that God has put this in action and pray that his heart will open to God’s voice and the love He has to give us. I believe this could be what I have dreamt of for our family for so long...”

Samuel August 2011 – “I accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour of my life at Promise Keepers in Christchurch last year. I repented of all my sins and received God’s forgiveness. When I returned home everything changed. My wife and I became closer and stronger in

“I love being in love all over again!” our marriage. Like my wife said, there was now a third person in our relationship and that was God.” “She fell in love with me all over again. All this affected our two children as well. As a result we are a happier family. My wife and I bought my first Bible. I started reading every day. We also started going to church more regularly and taking a more active part. We also pray as a family regularly. Kids also say their prayers at night.

My wife and I also pray regularly as a couple nearly every day. We have also joined a Bible study group.

I was baptised at Lake Ohau last October. I have been blessed in my business also! As I look back I only wish all this had happened earlier in my life!”

Dawn “For the first time in 13 years of marriage we are on the same page of the same book!

I can’t thank God [enough] for His grace and love! I cannot wait to come home. When we first got married we used to finish each other’s sentences and there we are again. I love being in love all over again!”
