Wow! What a great M3 meeting yesterday! For those who don't attend New Life Midway, it was a time where a number of men were honored. (Honor or "respect those who work hard among you" 1 Th.5:12.) For example, the following men earned their Unstoppable Award pin for being unstoppable in God's word for four weeks straight- Andre Vargas, Chuy Cervantes, Dave DeBoer, Flo Juarez, Oscar Nunez, and Osiris Alday. Way to go men!
We also recognized the men who joined M3 since our last meeting a month ago- Jose Billagas (via George Doherty), William Dyckman (via Eddie Morales), Luis Ortiz (via Ismael Andrade), Horacio De La Torre and Mark Estrada (via dg). Be ready to welcome some new brothers this week, starting with Lou Ojeda whom we all met at the meeting. Thanks Sam for bringing him on board. So give a warm welcome to Lou!
It was also great to honor George Doherty who graduated from Basic Training (everyone starts there). He had already earned his Unstoppable award pin and recently recruited Jose Billegas. This advances George from being a Protege (Pro) to a Coach. Who will be advancing to a coach at our next month's meeting, July 12th?
We also honored all the men who hold the rank of R1 to R5!
R1- Antonio Palomar, Dave Heidekrueger, Gary Remson, George Doherty, George Rabiela, Israel Fuentes, Robert Roman, Roger Vinlasaca and Vince Diaz
R2- Ismael Andrade and Mike Pagan
R3- Sam Vargas
R4- Jack Rogers
R5- Eddie Morales (Congratulations Eddie and welcome back from your Mexico mission trip!)
Our mission is a very high calling- to multiply manly men. Please keep encouraging the men you enlist. These are your sons in the faith, your legacy. Your rank reflects those men who stay in M3. We are our brother's keeper. Be like a good shepherd to your own. Proverbs 27:23 says, "Be sure you know the condition of your flocks..." So if you notice one of your recruits struggling on the board or wandering from the Lord, call him and ask your fire-teammates to contact him as well. "My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins" James 5:19-20. To help you, I will be texting you and your fire team when one of your men is MIA on the blog. Thanks for being "devoted to one another in brotherly love" Romans 12:10. (12:10 brother!:)
Having said this, I am not implying that a man is wandering away from the Lord if he decides to drop out of M3. This ministry is not for everybody and I will grace, not guilt, anyone who decides this mission with this band of brothers is not for him. But let me also say this. I have been disappointed with a few brothers who have dropped out and did not even show the courtesy to return my several caring calls. That is doubly rude, because they made a commitment to return calls promptly. That is the behavior of irresponsible boys, not men. I didn't call them boys; it's the behavior of irresponsible or fearful boys. They just need to man up. If they owned a business, wouldn't they expect an employee to communicate if they were going to resign? It's simply the mature and thoughtful thing to do. It hurts to be so slighted when we have devoted ourselves to helping others grow. Thanks for being manly men!
Speaking of recruiting, thanks for caring enough to talk to others about what you have found to be so helpful. Remember, you get double points now for such conversations. (Only 2 points for group presentations. Please focus on individual conversations. Again, think of it like courting. Don't ask a bunch at once:)
1.- At the meeting yesterday, I also passed out a powerful outreach tool- our new greatestminimovies.com cards. Please go to that site now and watch one of the videos and share the name of it and a bit about it. (I want you to give out these cards, knowing what powerful videos are within it for people to see. If you didn't get any cards, text me and we will make it happen.)
Our disciplines determine our destiny. Our holy habits influence our eternal impact. So please join me in a new holy habit- giving out our Greatest Minimovies cards regularly. Why not see if you can give out one a day? I do. No failure if you don't. But be looking for opportunities. Just think what an eternal impact you could make. "He who wins souls is wise" Prov.11:30.
2.- Read through our passage in Proverbs for today- 21:16-31 and write out the verse or phrase you picked.

Remember to give yourself credit on the scoreboard for this past weekend.

Wow! I am proud of you all! Almost all of you are scoring so well. And I believe this week everyone will be scoring 25 points or more. The team averages below again did not include the team leaders. They are focusing on helping you succeed. But as you can tell, they are doing a great job of scoring. (Eddie even scored respectably while in Mexico!) First place this week goes to Fire Team 3 which just beat out Fire Team 2 by a nose.
