We pray for victory; God gives a strategy.”  — Edwin Louis Cole

 Cook Islands Ministry Trip March 2006
The response from the men (and women) to the teaching was fantastic. There was TV news coverage, Newspaper reports, and banners across the road in and out of the main township Avarua. Everyone in the whole community knew about it. We had about 60 men do MaxMan in Rarotonga - 40 for the 1^st time.  

    

SCHEDULED SEMINARS Many churches around the country are discipling men on an ongoing way using MAJORING IN MEN Contact us for more details, or if you would like a mini seminar at your church.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

 Pastors:The Majoring in Men curriculum is an ideal tool to motivate and encourage your men.  Pastors, this ministry doesn't take your men out of church but instead it builds the men into and in your church. It gives you or your men's leader the chance to teach and yet promote the vision of your local church. New Zealand needs godly, local church based maximised men who are not afraid to learn, to lead and to love.
Please contact me to see how YOU can equip your men.

The Atui team had about 30 men there from all the denominations on the island. These guys were so impacted that they now want to take this “word” to their brothers in Autitaki.
 It has been wonderful to hear the life changing reports from men. The day before we left, there was a talk back on radio. One of the attendees was being interviewed and reported how he had felt compelled to apologize to his children for his bad behaviour towards them and to ask his wife for forgiveness – assuring her of his love towards her, and that he was asking The Lord for help as he committed to serve and lead his family. Apparently the lady radio host was weeping audibly as she heard this man speak openly and honestly about the way the Lord and Word had impacted him. The interviewer turned out to be the Head of Women’s affairs for the Cook Islands ! 
Other men repented and put their lives right. Unmarried couples committed to put things right. Married couples had their marriages “Born Again” and young men committed themselves to Sexual Purity. As we left Rarotonga , the Policeman on duty, came and thanked us – his marriage impact and life changed. The Custom’s officer came and thanked us as well – seems the whole community is being touched. One of the really gratifying things was the cross section of churches attending. Pentecostal, Mainstream, RC and SDA.(Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace - Ephesians 4:3)..
