Nashville PK guys enter blogosphere

Promise Keepers has given the Nashville/Middle Tennessee Volunteer Team a shout out on the national home page noting our use of technology (for God's Glory) to inform, inspire, encourage and provide local leadership to the various volunteer teams. These teams under the four main areas - Administration, Logistics, Community and Ambassadors - will be assembling over the coming days.

Look for an announcement this week on this PKNashville blog - and keep not only the Nashville leadership team in prayer, but those teams being assembled in other conference cities - Mobile, Alabama; San Antonio, Texas; Orlando, Florida; Columbia, South Carolina; Cincinnati, Ohio and Fresno, California.

Clap * Clap * Clap* to the guys and gals back at Promise Keepers Denver - we appreciate your support and passion!

"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us..." Hebrews 12:1

Steven - Albertville, AL attending last year in Atlanta writes:

This was my sixth Promise Keepers event and, once again, I was amazed by the love and passion for God by Godly men. I was fortunate to take a teen from our church, and he has already decided he wants to to go again next year to Nashville and take his father and brother.


Jack - Ringgold, VA attending last year in Raleigh writes:

I gave my life to Christ at a Promise Keepers event in Lynchburg, Va in 2000. I attended my 6th event this year in Raleigh N.C. That day, I gave my life to Christ along with over 500 other men changed my life forever and to witness 288 men come to Christ in Raleigh this year touched my heart. I'm sure those guys will never forget that day, but they need our prayers! May the Lord continue to bless and work through Promise keepers in the years to come. THANK YOU PROMISE KEEPERS!!

Tommy - Thomaston, GA volunteering last year in Atlanta writes:

Working as a volunteer gave me a look at the conference from a different perspective than coming to attend for myself. I would encourage anyone to give of themselves at least one time as a servant. I am as tired as I can possibly be but I had the time of my life. I hope to do this again, if given the chance. I was blessed by every man that I was able to meet and talk to from all over the many areas and states. May God continue to bless Promise Keepers and their dedicated staff. Thank You to PK for letting me serve.

Promise Keepers' Vision

Larry Whittlesey, Promise Keepers' Event Director and Chuck Schneider, National Field Director shared the vision and outlined the 2007 Promise Keepers program and volunteer effort for this year.

One of the key points communicated was engaging the men attending. The mission has not changed: "Promise Keepers is dedicated to igniting and uniting men to be passionate followers of Jesus Christ through the effective communication of the 7 Promises." The vision has been sharpened after seventeen years of ministry since 1990 when PK first began, reaching more than five and a half million men participating at conferences and countless more reached through books, music CDs, multi-media resources, the Internet, satellite and radio broadcasts.

[Promise Keepers has] refocused our message from merely calling men to a life of integrity to now actively calling, encouraging, and equipping men to act on their integrity. We are restructuring our organization to help men not only make the right promises, but to keep them by actively applying biblical principles to their lives and by serving those around them.

VISION: To be the Leading and Most Relevant Voice to Men and Men's Issues World Wide
