Purpose of the Brother's Meeting:
Men getting together to share with each other. Ministering to one another and sharing encouragement from individual areas of ministry
Meeting Minutes:
With only six people, we took advantage of the opportunity to go around the room one by one and share with each other the things that are going on within our personal lives that are impacting our Christian growth.
It is evident that God is moving us forward, in discussion after the meeting, we talked about an anology of preparing the nets for years and now we are beginning to get our nets wet. I hear God saying "Good Job" to this step forward.
Here's a summary of what each man shared:
Dr. Scott:
- Celebrated his birthday, received a treasured gift "Autobiography of George Meuller"
- George perceived his youth as misspent
- George perceived his ministry as messy ( 3 steps forward, 2 steps back )

- Dr. Scott is also reading "Destined for the Throne" and finding it life changing (given to him by Mike)
