What a year we’ve all been through. Even in the midst of the 2020 craziness, as Christ followers, there’s always reasons to be thankful. To name a few reasons from Ephesians 1:
In Christ, we’ve been given every available spiritual blessing
We’ve been chosen in Jesus, before the world began, to be holy and totally blameless in Him
In God’s great love, we’ve been adopted as His children
In Christ, we’ve been redeemed, rescued from God’s wrath by His blood God has lavished His grace and mercy upon us and forgiven our every sin
We’ve been given the Holy Spirit as a pledge of our inheritance
These and many more eternal truths are reasons to remain thankful no matter what. And as a ministry, there’s much to add to what we’re already thankful for.
Several men have crossed over from death to life in 2020 and come into a personal relationship with God! Hallelujah!
In spite of the pandemic, an increasing number of men are utilizing our Focused Living tools, such as Men’s Forums, GRIP and Wired events. Men are growing in the knowledge of God and learning how to love their families, neighbors, co-workers and friends. They’re learning how to follow Jesus and teach others to do the same.
The beautiful thing is that, because of virtual access, our influence has expanded. Many forums have increased in size and we see that guys are craving connection with others and thirsting after the practical application of God’s Word.
We are deeply grateful for your interest, prayers, investment and involvement in spreading the gospel and making disciples. We are honored by your confidence in Focused Living to point all men to Christ Jesus our King.
With Love and so much Gratitude during this Christmas season,

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:9-11 ESV).
