Dates for Lion's Roar 2010 is now set. September 23, 24, and 25 at Life City Church Tauranga.
Guest speaker Tony Cameneti will inspire and challenge the men as once again we establish godliness as normal life for the Kiwi male. Tony has a wealth of ministry experience and will certainly put courage into the men.
All night meetings are open and we would encourage you to plan to be there.
men's ministry lost some momentum in NZ but not any more... traction has been regained and we are moving forward again to claim our rightful place. Serving our God, serving our families and serving our churches.
Pastors... this will be an awesome chance to expose your men to a ministry that is focused in resourcing you to build your church. We love alongside and put material into your hands that will see your men built into the local house of God.

3 Major Men's Ministries Pray Together.
A Call for Men to Pray
Originally initiated by FGBI, Promise Keepers and CMN are joining up and calling THE MEN OF NZ to pray for our nation.
All 3 ministries are “national” and “non denominational”. We are on the same team, we are “Christian” and we are called by His Name. God is promising that if we will humble ourselves and turn from our sin, then HE WILL HEAR and HEAL. Let’s get on board with this, put time aside each 1st Monday of every month to fast and pray.
Check the open letter under "Events" for details.
FATHERLESSNESS
Here are some statistics from the States, which unfortunately apply equally to our nation. NZ is not only suffering from Fatherlessness in our families, but also as a nation we are Fatherless.
An astounding 61% of the households in America today are fatherless! In case you have any doubts as to how damaging it is to have a nation full of “absentee fathers”, the following statistics should help put things in perspective.
- 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes. (Source: U.S. D.H.H.S. Bureau of the Census)
- 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes. (Source: U.S. D.H.H.S. Bureau of the Census)
- 85% of all children that exhibit behavioural disorders come from fatherless homes. (Source: Centre for Disease Control)
- 80% of rapists motivated with displaced anger come from fatherless homes.(Source: Criminal Justice & Behaviour, Vol. 14, pg 403-26, 1978)
- 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes. (Source: National Principals Association Report on the State of High Schools)
- 75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centres come from fatherless homes. (Source: Rainbows For All God’s Children)
- 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes.(Source: U.S. Dept. of Justice, Special Report, Sept. 1998)
- 85% of all youths sitting in prisons grew up in a fatherless home. (Source: Fulton Co. Georgia jail populations, Texas Dept. of Corrections, 1992)
Sobering Statistics aren’t they – but God has a plan. It is you and it is me. It is up to us as men of God to teach, to teach until every man is taught “that manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous”; “that being a male is a matter of birth, being a man is a matter of choice”. To bring men into a knowledge of Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, and to go and make disciples.
Programmes won’t do it and politics won’t do it. The thing that sets men free is truth. As a fellow lover of the truth I urge you to help us turn our country around by restoring fathers to the home, and a fathering "spirit" to our nation.
