Joe White, leader of the several Kanakuk Kamps (www.kanakuk.com) all around Branson, MO, began the Men at the Cross movement. (www.menatthecross.org). The vision of it is based upon the biblical command of Jesus found in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19, 20) that we “…make disciples of all nations…”
The biblical role model of MATC is found in II Timothy 2:2. In that one verse four spiritual generations of discipling are depicted: “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.” (NIV) (1) Paul impacted (2) Timothy who was to help (3) reliable men who teach (4) others.
Men at the Cross features highly inspirational and enthusiastic half day Saturday meetings led by Joe White and his team in cities throughout the USA. While this radio discussion with Joe spotlights one MATC city (St. Louis, MO), it provides an example of what is happening in cities all over the USA. Invitations to men to attend and answers to questions are found at www.menatthecross.org.
A moving example of the vision of MATC is found in another radio conversation on www.haroldhendrick.com. Mike Blake, a professional gardener, like many men, had been away from a faith walk with Jesus. Upon returning, Mike now passionately and joyfully helps others follow Jesus. He shares about a bible study he did in the New Testament’s first book, Matthew, listing five characteristics of a disciple … which you can now hear in Mike Blake’s own words.
