Welcome to the new Influencers Website

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

Fellow Influencers:

We are so excited about this new website, which we truly hope will be a tool that God will use to expand this ministry as far as He wants to take it.  We had 3 goals in mind in creating the new website:  Connectivity, Education and Resourcing.  The most exciting piece is the Connectivity.  We hope to see men all over the world connecting with each other, realizing they are part of a much bigger army of God's men.  We also want to encourage each other as we share the wonderful stories of transformation occurring in men and in their spheres of influence.  

Under the "Community" tab, you will find various Forum categories and regions where you can get involved and get connected.  God only knows how He will begin to use and mobilize our network of men, once we band together through communication.

Spend some time browsing through the information and features on the new website.  We welcome your input to the new website, for we want this to be useful and relevant to you.  Give us a comment.

God Bless You!
 

Journey Tribes

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

The Journey has been helping men in their walk with Christ for 8 years now.  Many men have been transformed and have become "self-feeders" on God's Word.  Many men have taken it as a Sacred Responsibility to bring The Journey to other men, and they have become Guides.  However, there is one key component of Influencers which has been lost in the process.  Many great relationships form during a 9-month Journey, but unless a man continues on as a Guide, he may lose connection with these men and with the ministry.  We believe God is building a great army of men, and even if a man does not feel called to lead a Journey Group, he is part of our army.  It is imperative that we all stay connected in some way.  Hopefully, this new website will help with that, but we believe it needs to go much deeper.

Our founding fathers have been praying about a new concept called "Influencer Tribes".  These would be groups of Influencers who have completed The Journey and who agree to band together to support each other and go through life together.  Below is their vision.  We'd appreciate your comments:
