Bringing Christian Mens Conference To Life

By Cynthia Morgan


History has proven that the participation of men in conferences is always low. This scenario is repeated in ordinary mission activities in communities. However, it is still possible to hold invigorating Christian mens conference that is captivating to men and changes their perspective about mission work. Here are a few ideas to consider and apply where the situation demands.

Organize activities similar to what scouts do. This could include communal activities and exclusive outdoor events. On an afternoon or weekend, take them off to a place where they need to find a way to a particular point. Also include puzzles for them to solve, either alone or in groups. In the process, they will bond and appreciate team work and the impact mission has on their immediate community. This will also keep them close to family.

Organize a platform where they can share their skills. Men have a natural instinct to solve problems. This is the trait you will tap into and engage the men directly. Avoid sit down sessions where a lot of discussions take place. Give them a chance to share their knowledge on issues with the community and fellow ministers. It gives men a sense of pride to share their skills and alleviate the suffering of others. As they share their skills, their ideas of missionary and Christian living find new meaning.

Engage in sports. Men are natural lovers of sports. Engage them in a game and they will always turn up for your missions. The sports could involve improvisation of playing equipment and also involve children and people in the community. They begin to see as well as appreciate the kind of society they are living in.

Use the latest technology to facilitate virtual session only for men. This could include webinars, conference calls, social media contributions and other creative ways to make them participate. Ensure that the events are regular and take place at a convenient time for most of them who could be busy at work stations. They will always take up an event or activity that is most convenient.

Gadget based events are a crowd puller for men. It is natural for men to love and even be obsessed with gadgets. Gadgets give them a chance to outwit opponents and showcase their skills. It is also a way of tapping into the ability or professional training of men. Do not be surprised when such a project is taken up by the most silent church member who has never had an opportunity.

Can dads manage children during Sunday school and other kid activities. Though the common picture is that of women engaging in such activities, men can perfectly handle them. The opportunity to handle children should be provided in a comfortable and resourced environment. This enhances their consciousness about children and vulnerable groups in the society. The children have a rare chance to enjoy the company of their fathers in an exclusive manner.

The participation of men in Christian conferences will depend on the nature of activities planned. A professional event planner will transform the participation of men in such events, leaving organizers satisfied with results obtained. New ideas will also emerge as you implement those proposed.
