		<description>Bill, 

Thanks for the comment. Have you tried contacting "Church For Men" in Florida? They might know of someone in your area who could help you plant a church. Their website it in my blogroll on the left. Tell them I sent you! Ha ha. 

Otherwise, I do have some contacts in CO who might be interested in helping plant a church.</description>

		<description>I had a men's bible study at a local bar for about eight years.  One day I quipped "can you believe we are doing this in a bar" and one of the guys said "Where do you think Jesus would be if he were here?"

I read David's book "Why Men Hate Going to Church" and chuckled for a week because so much rang true.  That book has haunted me ever since.
After retiring from law enforcement I went to bible college and on to the mission field.  As a missionary I visited a lot of churches and I cannot tell you how many of them forced me to hold hands with another man!

While holding the hand of the man standing nexst to me I couldn't help but wonder how that would affect a manly man who decided to come see what church was all about.....no doubt it would be the last time he ever set foot in that church!

Thank God! Literally! 

I would love to attend a "man church" in Colorado or even start one here!</description>

		<description>Hi all, 

I have been getting some traffic to this post, and several e-mails, and found that the &lt;a href="http://www.churchformen.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;Church for Men in Alaska&lt;/a&gt; had put a notice up about this article. I love David Murrow's book and so am honored that he posted a link to this article on his site. 

Thanks David!</description>

		<description>Check it out! Mike Ellis of the &lt;a href="http://churchformenflorida.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;"Church for Men" in Florida,&lt;/a&gt; sent me an e-mail with his blog and ministry on it. 

I LOVE it. 

Keep up the good work there in Florida!

Also, a different man from Southern California told me of a ministry his church does to men. They serve non-alcoholic beer, and "man food" like beef jerky, cheeze its, etc.  They discuss the Bible (mostly NT), Heidelberg Catechism, the book Why Men Hate Going To Church, etc. There is personal testimony, prayer with personal intercessions offered. 

He reminds us that "In the end, it is reaching individuals, their hearts and minds, and fulfilling their deep needs as men.  Do that and you have something.  Fail in it, and you have mainstream Prostestantism of today."

If you know or hear of some things other churches are doing to reach men, let me know!</description>
