This is one remarkable and amazing story.
I was just on a zoom call with a group of pastors and leaders who are concerned about the disengaged and disenfranchised men in their community - men who perhaps confess Christ but never come around - whose families call the church when they have a need, but it seems most of today's men can't be bothered.
The pastors and men's leaders were deeply. moved by a story I told them of the pizza man, so I'll tell you as well.
It was one simple act by a friend. A man invited a friend who owned a pizza business to a CMN event. It's just like any man who hands a book to another man at a gym, or who invites a brother-in-law for coffee and tells him his own story of his Christian faith. The pizza man was a mess. He needed Jesus.
Such a simple action. Invite another man. He might say no, but he may say yes.
The pizza man was stricken in his heart. He realized his hurtful and angry view of his own father had skewed his view of God. He committed his life to Jesus. That began a journey that has changed the world for thousands of others.
Because faithful and generous men gave financially - that CMN event took place. Because a friend was faithful, a man's life was transformed. Brotherhood made the difference in one man's life.
But wait....that one man then adopted two Vietnamese children and found his life's calling.
Today, the pizza man leads one of the largest ministries in communist Vietnam, has been responsible for thousands of surgeries, food, support for tens of thousands of children, has lifted 183,000 disabled people off the ground by providing wheelchairs.
One pizza man has changed the world for hundreds of thousands.
CMN partners give because it matters.
Because every day something is happening across the nations.
And, you never know who the next pizza man is.
Guardians are at core of this ministry that rescues men, and changing the future for thousands . The brotherhood of men that step up and give every month are now called Guardians. Consistency of purpose is the way to victory. Consistent generosity is the path to defeating the enemy and rescuing men.
Guardians receive in return:
-
A life-building monthly spiritual boost -- a download, a video, or a short book.
-
Every quarter there is the "Locker Room" a motivational zoom call with CMN leaders.
The goal is to help others and also build our relationship with God. Generosity unlocks our hearts.
And Guardians receive the blessing and favor of Our Father for every man saved, every life changed.
You are a vital part of the CMN brotherhood.
Step up today, become a Guardian. Win by giving to help save another man's life.
We change the future of the world by presenting Christ ... defeating fatherlessness, restoring families, bringing hope ... one man at a time.
